build: use the same python executable to run configure and gyp

[joyeecheung]

Otherwise we would end up using python 2 to run actions in the gyp
config if that's the system default.

Similar to #39465.

Otherwise we would end up using python 2 to run actions in the gyp
config if that's the system default.

This should not be the case if using make due to the symlinking that goes on in

node/configure.py

Lines 1857 to 1888 in 56a7e0a

	defmake_bin_override():
	ifsys.platform=='win32':
	raiseException('make_bin_override should not be called on win32.')
	# If the system python is not the python we are running (which should be
	# python 3), then create a directory with a symlink called `python` to our
	# sys.executable. This directory will be prefixed to the PATH, so that
	# other tools that shell out to `python` will use the appropriate python
	which_python=which('python')
	if (which_pythonand
	os.path.realpath(which_python) ==os.path.realpath(sys.executable)):

	os.symlink(sys.executable, python_link)
	# We need to set the environment right now so that when gyp (in run_gyp)
	# shells out, it finds the right python (specifically at

and path manipulation done in

node/configure.py

hi, @joyeecheung, can you take a look at #39465?
