I somehow failed to notice before applying this, but this
breaks 'make check' on the netbsd and freebsd VMs.

As usual the build log is pretty opaque, but this looks like the
probable culprit:

env: python3: No such file or directory
gmake: *** [/home/qemu/qemu-test.nU2bcG/src/tests/Makefile.include:144:
check-block] Error 1

The python in the netbsd VM is /usr/pkg/bin/python3.7. Something
seems to be ignoring the --python= passed into our configure
and assuming that "python3" is always a valid executable.
