Just had a quick look at this. I think the problem is that there are a
few helper scripts that need to be run using python3 (or with make
PYTHON=python2). Should I unconditionally add host python3 as a
dependency or is there a way of doing it only if the build machine
doesn't have a python3 interpreter.

Looks like BR2_PYTHON3_HOST_DEPENDENCY might do the trick. It
certainly seems to work
