It is a pain to have to set the ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables when using test.py's --build option. It is possible to get these using the -A and -a options from buildman. But it seems better to just use buildman to do the build.
Remove the manual 'make' logic in test/py and use buildman instead.
I far prefer using make here; this requires zero setup of buildman (e.g. the config file and specific toolchains), and so it much *less* of a pain.
For people who don't have an existing setup though, it is tricky. And having to set those environment variables is a hassle.
'buildman --fetch-arch all' will download and set up toolchains.
Perhaps we could make this optional?
