There is a syntax error with python3.1 as default python.

You can easily fix this by adding PYTHON_DEPEND="2" before an additional `inherit python` and call `python_set_active_verion 2` as a new last line of pkg_setup().

which changes the shebang of scripts/make-tests

Fixed in overlay. Thanks for reporting.
