it'd be nice to not build glibc multiple times for diff multilibs, but it 
simply isnt possible.  either you want multilib support (or in this case 
multi-python version support), or you dont.  if this feature is something like 
(and it sounds like it is), then this is simply something that is accepted.

if you dont want multiple builds on your system, then dont install multiple 
versions of python.
