Version number, _not_ architecture.  Run 'python -V' on the x86 system.
 is it the same as the python version you are trying to cross-compile?
For some reason python requires this...

To solve you'll need to either upgrade or downgrade the host or target.
 I'd recommend adjusting the target version to match the build host.
Assuming the build host is up to date.
