MongoDB 4.0 - building with Python 3

Hello,

in Gentoo Linux we build MongoDB from source. While MongoDB 4.0 is supported until January 2022 we cannot keep it in portage in it's current form simply because we need to get rid of Python 2 (which is EOL).

Can please the building process be adjusted so that MongoDB 4.0 is buildable with Python 3 (3.7+)?

Thanks
