some of the new scripts in scripts/ specify a interpreter path
which is not always pointing to the right place.
I see that an alternative format is also being used
        #!/usr/bin/env <interpreter_name>
which seems to work better.

The patch below is merely to let master compile on FreeBSD,
but there are other offending files that can be found with
 grep '#!' scripts/*

There is no need to fix acpi_extract.py here, because the error is in
hw/i386/Makefile.objs:

It should call the script using $(PYTHON). Otherwise it won't use the
Python interpreter
which was specified when configure was called with
--python=PYTHON-INTERPRETER.

wrong: hw/i386/Makefile.objs:  $(call quiet-command, $(SRC_PATH)/scripts/...

correct: hw/i386/Makefile.objs:  $(call quiet-command, $(PYTHON)
$(SRC_PATH)/scripts/...

This should be fixed for QEMU 1.7 (send patch with [PATCH for 1.7]).
