Bug 229749: lang/python36: python3.6-config breaks when symlinked e.g. by u=
sing
BINARY_ALIAS in ports
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D229749



--- Description ---
When using BINARY_ALIAS together with python3.6-config, i.e.  symlinking
it to another location, it starts outputting bogus paths.

USES=3D		python:3.6+
BINARY_ALIAS=3D	python3-config=3Dpython${PYTHON_VER}-config

It is convenient to use when porting applications that hardcode use
of python3-config etc.

It works fine with python2.7-config.  However when I try a similar
thing with python3.6-config it starts outputting bogus paths.  For
example

$ pwd
/home/tobias
$ python2.7-config --includes
-I/usr/local/include/python2.7 -I/usr/local/include/python2.7
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.7-config python2-config
$ ./python2-config --includes
-I/usr/local/include/python2.7 -I/usr/local/include/python2.7
$ python3.6-config --includes
-I/usr/local/include/python3.6m -I/usr/local/include/python3.6m
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3.6-config python3-config
$ ./python3-config --includes
-I/home/include/python3.6m -I/home/include/python3.6m

It would be nice if this could just work as it does with Python 2.7.
