That "to" looks backwards to me.  I expect:
    link python to your python3


That command line doesn't work on FreeBSD or NetBSD

FreeBSD:
$ which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3
$

NetBSD:
$ which python3
/usr/pkg/bin/python3
$

I have fixed buildprep to include the package that sets up "python"
That's on Fedora, Debian, FreeBSD, and Alpine Linux.

buildprep has some python2 cruft.  I ignored it.
Should we announce that it no longer works for python 2 and clean it up a 
bit?

Should we fix waf install to do the magic for SELinux?
