I left a TODO in there so it can be fixed later, maybe together with
other errors. I think this does not block merging this patch first?
The python requirement for realtime-testsuite is outdated/wrong anyway,
if I remember correctly. A colleague of mine recently
investigated the python requirement and we came to the conclusion, that
it is not needed for running the test.
I think it was used only for manual test result evaluation.

So there seems to be more work regarding dependencies between configure
options.
