I tried running make scriptsinstall from my build directory.
It failed with this error message:

  error: file 'byteyears.py' does not exist

I added os.path.abspath() around the source file name in the
error message.  It's looking for byteyears.py in the current
directory.  From where I executed make it's in ../Tools/scripts.
I'm not sure it would work if executed from the top-level source
directory either.

Set to needs patch as I don't see why you need a unit test for this build issue, feel free to change it back if you see fit.
