That shouldn't be an issue - already, Python 3 tends to come
significantly earlier than the rebuild of glibc in the process.
(On the other hand, I don't see anybody from Linux From Scratch on the
distribution list - and I'd expect they would have to add Python 3 to
the host system dependencies, and also add it to the initial bootstrap
system.)
