Hi everybody!

Finally I succeeded to "make bootstrap" GUB. But building lilypond master with 
GUB is broken. The log is quite clear:

   make[1]: Entering directory 
`/home/knut/gub/target/linux-x86/build/lilypond-git.sv.gnu.org--lilypond.git-master/python'
   PYTHONOPTIMIZE= /home/knut/gub/target/tools/root/usr/bin/python -tt -c 'import 
py_compile; py_compile.compile ("out/musicexp.py")'
      File "out/musicexp.py", line 1880
        omit = '' if self.visible else '\omit Staff.TimeSignature'
                   ^
   SyntaxError: invalid syntax


GUB uses the ancient Python 2.4.5. Building lilypond outside of GUB with python 
2.7.15 succeeds without problems.

James, do you use GUB for your tests?
