Hello Python team,

This fixes cross-compilation of python <at> 3.11, adding the ‘--with-build-python’
flag, which apparently wasn’t needed for 3.10.

I found this while attempting to build a childhurd as part of my system
config.

Thoughts?

Yes, it’s all fine.  Pushed both!

  5f1ee7ba73 gnu: python <at> 3.11: Skip more tests on GNU/Hurd.
  49d9dca64f gnu: python <at> 3.11: Support cross-compilation.
