The python scripts must be invoked with $(PYTHON) as done throughout the build system.

Does this not work? Should python be on your $PATH?
It is. But the python binary on NetBSD's pkgsrc is called python<version> to allow concurrent installations of
different
python versions. So I can have: python2.5, python2.6, python2.7, python3.1, etc.
There is no current "python" referring to the default version?
I think this is something you will need to work out with the SeaBIOS upstream.

Since SeaBIOS is third party code we are not so much at liberty to make the same sorts of policy decisions as we would for our own code.
You could perhaps attempt to work around this by invoking the recursive make into the seabios directory with PATH=$(dir-only $(PYTHON):$PATH or whatever the appropriate runes are.
Or you could try posting a patch to SeaBIOS-devel, I don't know what their thinking on this sort of thing is.
I see.
What python version does SeaBIOS require? I have python 2.5 installed.
I manually created a python symlink to that version and then I get this failure:
