+# This shell script is used to fake Python. Gdb wants to be passed a
+# Python interpreter, to run its own python-config.py program, which
+# uses sysconfig. However, when cross-compiling, this doesn't work
+# well since we would have to use the host Python, whose sysconfig
+# module would return host values.
+#
+# As recommended at
+# https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/CrossCompilingWithPythonSupport,
+# this wrapper shell script can be used as a replacement. It ignores
+# the python-config.py script passed as first arguments, and
+# "emulates" its behavior.
