Apologies for being terse. I should've explained that when building
recipes that make use of this script, it will be run with the native
python (instead of host python) because native python will come first in
the PATH, and so the version reported will be correct, because native
python will match target python. This is set up in pythonnative.bbclass
for python 2, and in python3native.bbclass for python 3.

We *are* keeping semantics as they were with this patch. Python 3.4
defaults to this script, python 3.5 changes python-config to the broken
shell-based rewrite. This patch reverts back to the 3.4 behaviour.
