I would say that this patch should be applied in stable releases and master.
IMHO, this is not expected/correct that nodejs uses the python binary
that it founds on host instead of host-python3.
Currently this is raising a build failure with python 3.10 but
tomorrow, this could again raise unexpected build failures, for
example, if nodejs removes support for python 2.
