[U-Boot] Compile v2017.03 on a system where Python 3 is default

Hi,
When I try to compile U-Boot on my Arch Linux system I get the following error:
LDFLAGS="" python ./lib/libfdt/setup.py \ "-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -include ./include/libfdt_env.h -idirafterinclude -idirafter./arch/arm/include -I./lib/libfdt -I./tools -DUSE_HOSTCC -D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES -D_GNU_SOURCE " lib/libfdt/fdt.c lib/libfdt/fdt_ro.c lib/libfdt/fdt_rw.c lib/libfdt/fdt_strerror.c lib/libfdt/fdt_wip.c lib/libfdt/fdt_region.c lib/libfdt/fdt_sw.c tools/libfdt_wrap.c mv _libfdt.so tools/_libfdt.so mv: cannot stat '_libfdt.so': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [tools/Makefile:124: tools/_libfdt.so] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:1229: tools] Error 2
As far as I can tell the issue is that python defaults on my system to python 3: $ python --version Python 3.6.0
I can fix the issue by explicitly ask for python2, not sure if that is the proper way to fix this though:

Hm, not sure but I think my issue is not related to that. binman asks for Python 2 by default using shebang:
11:48 $ head tools/binman/binman #!/usr/bin/env python2 ...
And the way we call binman respects shebang: # binman
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
quiet_cmd_binman = BINMAN $@
cmd_binman = $(srctree)/tools/binman/binman -d u-boot.dtb -O . \
-I . -I $(srctree)/board/$(BOARDDIR) $<
I do have Python 2 installed, so binman gets executed with Python 2 and works well here...
Its just that "python" symlinks to python3, which seems to be an issue for ./lib/libfdt/setup.py.
In the ./lib/libfdt/setup.py case the Makefile calls that script as an argument to the explicitly called python interpreter:
11:56 $ grep -C 2 -e setup.py tools/Makefile
tools/_libfdt.so: $(patsubst %.o,%.c,$(LIBFDT_OBJS)) tools/libfdt_wrap.c LDFLAGS="$(HOSTLDFLAGS)" CFLAGS= python $(srctree)/lib/libfdt/setup.py \ "$(_hostc_flags)" $^ mv _libfdt.so $@
Anyway, it seems that ./lib/libfdt/setup.py actually works fine with Python 3 when using the --force argument, which is what we want in that case, imho... So this fix resolves the issue for me: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/744927/
