[fedora-arm] Building python-2.7.1 for F15 armhfp

[Tim Flink]

I've been working on the ftbfs issues that we've been seeing for python
in F15 for the armhfp bootstrap project.

tl:dr version:
It looks like mock is related to the failing tests that are causing the
ftbfs. The two solutions that I can see are to either build python
outside of mock or to patch the spec to exclude the failing tests
(which is already being done in mainline for F16).

Longer version:
The two tests that are failing are related to running out of ptys:
 - test_pty
 - test_openpty

This may be related to rhbz#714627 [1] and these tests have already been
excluded for python-2.7.2 in F16 mainline [2].

What I tried (and didn't work):
 - building python-2.7.1-7.fc15 in mock on pandaboard
 - building python-2.7.1-7.fc15 with mock 1.1.12
   * 1.1.12 was supposed to fix the pty issue
   * It's worth noting that this works on F15 x86_64. However, I don't
     know how to triage this farther and have commented on the bug.
 - building python-2.7.1-9.fc15 (git f15 head) in mock on pandaboard

What I tried (and did work):
 - patch python-2.7.1-9 to exclude test_pty and test_optenpty on arm

 - build python-2.7.1-7 outside of mock
