Well, then we should atleast fix this:

#
# Make sure libpython gets stripped out on target
#
define PYTHON3_ENSURE_LIBPYTHON_STRIPPED
	chmod u+w $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/libpython$(PYTHON3_VERSION_MAJOR)*.so
endef

PYTHON3_POST_INSTALL_TARGET_HOOKS += PYTHON3_ENSURE_LIBPYTHON_STRIPPED

Are there really use cases for building python3 statically?
