When building and adding python3 to an multilib environment (tested on qemux86-64) it fails to start on target. python3 does not find its libraries that is located in the directory /usr/lib64/. Instead it looks for the libraries in the directory /usr/lib
This is probably not a good workaround but to get python3 to start this works: root@qemu0:~# ln -s /usr/lib64/python3.4 /usr/lib/ root@qemu0:~# python3 Python 3.4.3 (default, Jun 27 2016, 22:09:03) [GCC 5.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>
