I tested on both machines with ext3
 uname -a
Linux netvista 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 17:53:09 EST 2011 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

df -T .

              ext3    17806872  10808872   6078860  65% /

and
uname -a
Linux amd64 2.6.32-26-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 09:00:03 UTC 2010

This fs has not been created with linux-2.6.32, it has been created with
linux-2.6.24 Ubuntu-8.04

As a notice, python is not the LFS book, only perl is compiled on toolchain
to populate LFS chroot.
python is in Beyond Linux From Scratch (what you may compile after toolchain
and base build).
