I think this RSB extra Python handling is superfluous. The rtems-tools 
are included in the standard RTEMS Tools build. The rtems-tools are 
built with waf which uses:

head -n 1 waf
#!/usr/bin/env python

So, if the RSB extra Python handing is necessary, then the rtems-tools 
build will fail. I think the waf developers tried hard to meet minimal 
platform requirements. It should be all right if we do it like waf.
