Do not adjust the shebang of Python scripts for cross-compilation The copy_scripts() method in distutils copies the scripts listed in the setup file and adjusts the first line to refer to the current Python interpreter. When cross-compiling, this means that the adjusted shebang refers to the host Python interpreter. This patch modifies copy_scripts() to preserve the shebang when cross-compilation is detected.
