It's actually due to the merge of the libffi3 branch back in March,
which removed the logic for configure to deal with MIPS in
fficonfig.py.in. I've attached a patch which allows the build to work
correctly on the QEMU instance of the MIPSEL mach

Adding this as affecting the 2.6 branch as well, since I initially
tested on a 2.6.1 tarball with this problem.

This still occurs in the latest SVN checkout, and is preventing Python
from building on ARMV4L and ARMV5L OABI, dying during the test_float.py
compilation. The patch appears to solve this problem, however I have not
run a full suite of tests to ensure it doesn&#

The following is where it fails un-patched:

I am in a position to test as much as needed. I am attempting to get
Gentoo's ARM/MIPS/Embedded distribution up to date on Python, and
noticed this build break. (Typically most embedded architectures are
several releases behind.)
I'll try this new patch
Mark Miller added the comment:
Would it be possible to get some feedback as to whether this is a
candidate for Python 2.6 on this patch?

The new patch works correctly, by the way, on ARMv4L and ARMv5L OABI boards.

Not entirely. I applied what you had for the autoconf section to my
configure, since I do not have autoconf installed in my environment.
Specifically, this part of configure is what's messing with the build:
if test x$TARGET = xMIPS; then
MIPS

This patch allows compiling, and forces everything to be x86_64.
However, Python 2.6.2 still dies when attempting to install:
cd Mac && make installmacsubtree DESTDIR=""
