12 it'd be nice to not build glibc multiple times for diff multilibs, but it
13 simply isnt possible. either you want multilib support (or in this case
14 multi-python version support), or you dont. if this feature is something like
15 (and it sounds like it is), then this is simply something that is accepted.
16
17 if you dont want multiple builds on your system, then dont install multiple
18 versions of python.
