I mean that to run pytest I have to do:

PATH=$PATH:tools/buildman ARCH=`buildman -a zynq_zybo`
CROSS_COMPILE=`buildman -A zynq_zybo` \
test/py/test.py -B zynq_zybo --id sjg-zynq_zybo --build-dir
../current/zynq_zybo --build

which is a bit of a pain.

With this change I can do:

test/py/test.py -B zynq_zybo --id sjg-zynq_zybo --build-dir
../current/zynq_zybo --build

Regards,
Simon
