cross compiling lxc[python], I get:

checking for PYTHONDEV... no
configure: error: You must install python3-dev



this nails down to the ebuild:

        if use python; then
                #541932
                python_setup "python3*"
                export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${T}/${EPYTHON}/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}"
        fi



and crossdev's cross-pkg-config unsetting PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
(/usr/bin/cross-pkg-config line 75 in current crossdev version)


If I comment out crossdev's unset, lxc[python] builds fine. Not sure if lxc should use another way or if cross-pkg-config shouldn't reset PKG_CONFIG_PATH, only thing I'm sure is that it annoys me so I've cc'ed both maintainers :)

With LXC 3.0, python bindings were de-bundled and became fairly standard with regards to python packaging. I'm thinking that crossdev issues are probably resolved now. Alexis, could you confirm?
