I am not sure we are talking about the same thing, but mock, the rpm
package from EPEL 7, do pull python 3:

$ cat /etc/redhat-release;   rpm -q --requires mock |grep 'python(abi'
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 (Maipo)
python(abi) = 3.6

So we do have python3 installed on the Centos 7 builders (and was after
a upgrade), and we are not going to remove it, because we use mock for
a lot of stuff.

And again, if the configure script is detecting the wrong version of
python, the fix is not to remove the version of python for the
builders, the fix is to detect the right version of python, or at
least, permit to people to bypass the detection.

No, I doubt but then, if we are using a chroot, the package installed
on the builders shouldn't matter, since that's a chroot.

So I am kinda being lost.

That would likely requires a big refactor of the setup, since we have
to get the data out of specific place, etc. We would also need to
reinstall the builders to set partitions in a different way, with a
bigger / and/or give more space for /var/lib/mock. 

I do not see that happening fast, and if my hypothesis of a issue in
configure is right, then fixing seems the faster way to avoid the
issue.
