Cover letter [PATCH 0/4] Don't use create_wrapper to short-circuit interpretters

Hi,

create_wrapper was previously abused to invoke the Python/Perl interpretters directly instead of relying on #! parsing, which is read into a 128 byte buffer so breaks with deep build directories.

The new create_wrapper is stricter about it's input so this trick doesn't work anymore. Luckily there's already a "nativeperl" binary in the sysroot's /usr/bin, so by adding a "nativepython" alongside it[1] recipes that used create_wrapper can be changed to munge the #! line to e.g. /usr/bin/env nativeperl.

(this series obsoletes 3 of the patches that Saul sent earlier involve create_wrapper)

Ross

[1] The existing nativeperl is a wrapper, the new nativepython is a symlink. Both seem to work and I can't see a good reason for a wrapper instead of a relative symlink.

The following changes since commit b87429fdb45f82ebe4060fea8c4ecd6e4bc1ae52:
