commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=084ffc69be6836fef071782943102fe1bbe4956d
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Fixes (reproducible):
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/50f/50f199bfe06d054cc6770760e73ac0de594a0670/diffoscope-results.txt

Fail2ban installs the fail2ban-python symlink pointing to the host python
intepreter used to run setup.py, which is naturally not valid at runtime and
breaks the reproducible tests as shown in the diffoscope results:

│ -lrwxrwxrwx   0        0        0        0 2020-10-04 10:50:38.000000 ./usr/bin/fail2ban-python -> /home/naourr/work/instance-0/output-1/host/bin/python
│ +lrwxrwxrwx   0        0        0        0 2020-10-04 10:50:38.000000 ./usr/bin/fail2ban-python -> /home/naourr/work/instance-0/output-2/host/bin/python

As a workaround, update the symlink after installation to point to the
correct target python.
