AFAICS, it'll pick whichever version is executed when you say "python".
Doesn't seem like an unreasonable behavior to me.

You may well need to adjust $PATH before running configure.  I wouldn't
recommend hacking --with-includes or --with-libraries at all, though;
we find out what directories to use by asking "python".
