We can change the seabios makefile to call these scripts with an
explicit $(PYTHON).  However, it's odd that there isn't a default
python on your system.

It should work with python 2.5 - there's nothing really special going
on in the script.

That's quite odd.  This looks data related instead of python related.
Try running a "make clean" and then "make" in just the seabios
directory.  If you still see an issue, tar up the seabios "out/"
directory and mail it to me.
