answer was "go to gyp": build/gyp is a checkout of the GYP project, it is not

Task: need porting v8 from obsolete python2 to new version python3.

./2to3 partitallly help, but python2 package compiler, used in v8, removed from 
python3, and automatical porting fails:

-Dv8_target_arch=x64 -Dconsole=readline -Dwerror=
