Make sure you specify that your primary C compiler is sh4-linux-gcc, the
easiest way to do this is by:

  # CC=sh4-linux-gcc ./configure ...

Also, since python uses autoconf, hopefully it's smart enough to include
the autoconf rules for cross-compiling.  You should hopefully be able to
do:

  # CC=sh4-linux-gcc ./configure ... --build=`arch`-linux --host=sh-linux

Reference the autoconf documentation for more details, I'm a bit sketchy at
the moment.
