Well, I don't mind doing as you suggest.

No file was attached so I somewhat missed it. And indeed, you're
right. The current rule is useless when compiling without
--with-python, as PYTHON is empty but defined. What you are proposing
is similar to what pgxs.mk does for bison and flex, and "python" would
still be able to map to python3 or python2.7, which should be OK in
most cases.
I thought that this was quite old, but no, f85a485f8 was at the origin
of that. So I've applied the patch down to 13.
