Try --with-python=/build/toolchain/lin32/python-2.6/bin/python.
I don't think my 2.7 patch changed this, it was an earlier change.

From gdb/configure.ac:

dnl There are several different values for --with-python:
[...]
dnl /path/to/python/exec-prefix -
dnl Use the python located in this directory.
dnl If /path/to/python/exec-prefix/bin/python exists, use it to find
dnl the compilation parameters. Otherwise use
dnl -I/path/to/python/exec-prefix/include,
dnl -L/path/to/python/exec-prefix/lib.
dnl Python 2.6, 2.5, and then 2.4 are tried in turn.
dnl NOTE: This case is historical. It is what was done for 7.0/7.1
dnl but is deprecated.
dnl /path/to/python/executable -
dnl Run python-config.py with this version of python to fetch the
dnl compilation parameters.
