Oh I'm sure it's specific to my organisation now. The issue is in
distutils on the host, it doesn't like being installed in /usr/lib64,
so I'll make a patch for that soon. I still don't like relying on host
tools for the python stuff, though.

Yeah, as I said above python3 distutils seems to be broken when
multilib is enabled. I'll fix that and send a patch later today or
tomorrow.
