This is extra annoying because when using different platforms from the same source tree, python thinks its build cache is fine, and just installs files which plain won't work on the target machine.
This I don't quite understand. Autogen is python only. There are no platform-dependent files there at all. So, what is the problem that you're fixing?
(This is not saying that I mind the solution, I question the reason.)

autogen.py in an executable script with a substituted shebang (#!/path/to). On platform a, python is found in /path/to/my/first/python, however on my platform b python is to be found at /somewhere/else/in/my/filesystem/is/python.
My shell (correctly IMO) thinks that an executable file with an invalid shebang cannot be executed.
Note, this is not a problem as long as your python is always in the same place, e.g. /usr/bin/python. This is not the case for me, as there's either no python shipped with the OS, or it's so outdated that I want to replace it with my own version.

The solution is wrong, checkin to fix it follows shortly I hope.

no, I cannot get the ***!*!@@#$(@!*@** thing right. So if you know how in the python world you are supposed to build into a build dir (such that the install target also uses the build dir) than I urge you to fix it properly. I will reverse my checkin, as it breaks installation right now.
What a mess.
