First, I introduced a typo: s/PYTHON_ONLY_FOR_BUILD/PYHTON_FOR_BUILD_ONLY/.

Then, you were right Thomas. I have included "../../lang/python/tool.mk" and the python interpreter is now added to the buildlinks. I did not find any example in the pkgsrc document concerning PYTHON_ONLY_FOR_BUILD and the mk fragment that should be included. I noticed that pyversion.mk references PYTHON_ONLY_FOR_BUILD in its API documentation but I think tool.mk sounds like "I want to use python as a tool".
