The problem is that as part of the build it builds a Python extension
as part of omniidl. You are building a 64 bit Python extension, and
trying to link it with a 32 bit Python.

The only way out if you need to use the 64 bit cross compiler is to hack
the makefiles so they build omniidl with the 32 bit compiler but build
the rest of the system with the 64 bit compiler.

Cheers,

Duncan.
