If we could avoid the host-python dependency, it would be great. My
understanding is that the SConstruct needs JSON just to generate one
file. Maybe we could simply integrate a pre-generated version as a
patch. But maybe it's too hackish, and we should just go ahead and add
host-python as a dependency of scons, so that a well-known version of
Python gets built.

Best regards,
