The problem is that I didn't have python-devel package installed and
get-executable-or-default decides to error out instead of letting the
Makefile disable Python support.
Right. I think the get-executable-or-default should not error out in
this case but just emit a warning and keep building.
Does following patch fix your problem?

In this case you don't want a warning, you just want python support
disabled and move on. I've been getting around this in a minimal install
of F18 in a VM using PYTHON_CONFIG=/bin/false; haven't had time to
search for the proper solution.
