"Ignoring" python 3
I am trying to build an svn version of a package that needs python2. I have both python and python2 installed on my system, and during the make process it fails to build. Just for kicks i removed the python package and it builds successfully. Obviously this is not an optimal solution. I need to either 1.) "Ignore" the python binary or 2.) Alter the Makefiles during the build. I have tried doing a global s/python/python2/g before the make process but the make process generates further makefiles that contain "python" and fail to build.
Any suggestions?

Re: "Ignoring" python 3
you can probably do "PYTHON=python2 ./configure"

Depending on the project of course 
. For some projects with active upstream you could just ask the devs what the best way to handle this would be.

Re: "Ignoring" python 3
You'll probably need to spend the time to search deeper into what is going on. You say make creates files hard-linking to python? Perhaps at some point you can sed those files (or edit the makefiles which generate them).
Check out how I did it in samba4 (its VERY messy and trial-and-error, but upstream couldn't help me with it so I just took whatever worked).

Probably at the 'bad samba' line? That's not mine, its copied wholesale from the samba PKGBUILD in the repos .
