OK can you try following patch ? (untested) it does not fix the paths so 
once you install sdk it will have to be fixed as you did with chrpath 
for testing

I think issue is currently we are linking with static version of 
libpython and also the search path to find python executable for gdb 
when running is /usr/bin and not the python from SDK so this patch
takes care of both
