Hmmmm.... Funny... a bit more fire:
-------------------cut----------------------------
$ make cm_t335_defconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
GEN /home/grinberg/bin-temp/u-boot/Makefile
File "/home/grinberg/git-repo/u-boot/scripts/multiconfig.py", line 344
print "*** Default configuration is based on '%s'" % KBUILD_DEFCONFIG
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make[1]: *** [cm_t335_defconfig] Error 1
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
$ python --version
Python 3.3.5
-------------------cut----------------------------

It seems that those scripts only work on Python versions 2.6 - 2.7?

At least not for the simple task of building U-Boot...
Can't we use a bit more stable API then this of python?
