Building everything for all Python ABIs is not required in case of majority of packages, which
optionally install Python bindings. Makefiles of many packages (including dev-vcs/subversion)
provide separate targets for building/installation of core libraries and various bindings.

Example:

src_compile() {
    emake || die

    if use python; then
        python_copy_sources bindings/python
        build_python_bindings() {
            emake \
                PYTHON_INCLUDES="$(python_get_includedir)" \
                PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES="$(python_get_sitedir)" \
                python_bindings
        }
        python_execute_function -s --source-dir bindings/python build_python_bindings
    fi
}
