Which way is preferable? 1) default --without-python and require an "opt-in" for --with-python=python3 or 2) default --with-python=python3 and require an "opt-out" for --without-python If 1) is preferred, is it ok to rename CROSS_GDB_WITHOUT_PYTHON => CROSS_GDB_WITH_PYTHON? The reason is that we'd want the non-existence of the env variable to be applied as the default -Jon
