Bug 14864

Preconditions/Environment
-------------------------
I'm using Fedora 36. The build environment is crops/yocto.

Triggering Action/Cause
-----------------------
# checkout the dunfell branch of poky
git clone https://github.com/yoctoproject/poky.git -b dunfell
# enter a crops container
podman run --userns=keep-id --rm -it -v $HOME:$HOME -w $PWD/poky crops/yocto:centos-8-base /bin/bash
# setup the environment
source oe-init-build-env
bitbake-layers layerindex-fetch meta-oe
echo IMAGE_INSTALL_append += \" gpsd\" >> conf/local.conf
# build
bitbake gpsd -v

Expectation
-----------
gspfake, gpscat, and other utilities should be available.

Actual Result
-------------
Building gpsd seems to miss finding python and omits the python utilities from the build:

python = False (default True): build Python support and modules.

Adding a custom layer with a gpsd_3.19.bbappend that contains:

EXTRA_OESCONS += " target_python=python3"

enables python to be found, but the path in the include flag is messed up for gpsd to find Python.h:

gpspacket.c:20:10: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

Reproducibility
---------------
10/10

I tried a native host and several flavors of crops such as Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 with the same results each time.
