It would also be nice if:

  PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 %configure

didn't (silently) do the wrong thing by default.  For a long time we
shipped a nbdkit-python3 package which was using python2, and that was
found to be the cause.

And the configure script didn't accept the external definition of $PYTHON,
I guess. What could the %configure macro do about it?
If you look at "rpm -E %configure", anything it does wouldn't help, if
the parameters are ignore or don't make it into the Makefiles.

I suspect the problem is that the PYTHON=… setting is only applied to the first shell command in the %configure expansion. It's not the configure invocation, just a plain variable assignment, so PYTHON is set, but not exported to subprocesses (such as the future invocation of ./configure).

There is probably some shell hackery we could use to avoid that, but I don't think more magic should be the goal.

Thanks,
Florian
