There is no python requirement for building a riscv linux compiler.  It is only
needed if the user specifies the optional --with-arch configure option, and if
the user specifies a non-canonical form of the architecture string in the
--with-arch option string.  Otherwise gcc will build fine without python.

A later patch fixed this to check for python before using it, after Andreas
Schwab complained about this.

Also is there a reason why this shell script could not be written in just plain
shell script with sed and awk instead of python?  Seems like adding python just
for this script is heavy weight.
