So probably the right fix is to search for and use a python path as part
fo the build, rather than assuming.  I build with
PYTHON=/usr/pkg/bin/python3.8 at the moment, because pkgsrc's approach
to the python versioning mess is to use an explicit path.  So perhaps
I'm insulated from this.  But, an approach of looking  for a version, in
some preference order, and using it, seems more robust overall.
