python-config is a python script so it won't work when build != host.

        * configure.ac: For non-canadian-cross builds (build == host),
        try to use python-config to get python include and lib parameters.
        * configure: Regenerate.

Tested with
build=host=target=amd64-linux [with/without python]
build=host=amd64-linux target=arm-eabi [with/without python]
build=amd64-linux host=i386-linux target=arm-eabi [without python]
