Hm, I see that package/selinux-python/Config.in has:

        depends on !BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON
        select BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3

so anyway, this is all only Python 3.x.

So yeah, I'm not sure how Tomas got into this build issue. Tomas: could
share the Buildroot .config being used ?

How could have Tomas encountered this with the current Buildroot, where
we don't even have the logic to build a modular policy ?
