IA64 – Updated to 4.16-rc3..
Just updated the HP RX2600 to Kernel 4.16-rc3, and apart from an odd quirk at compile time, all went OK..
.............. Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 98 modules GZIP arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/vmlinux.gz File "./arch/ia64/scripts/unwcheck.py", line 19 print "Usage: %s FILE" % sys.argv[0] ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print' make: [arch/ia64/Makefile:78: unwcheck] Error 1 (ignored) ..................
Despite this, the compilation completed OK, and the system booted without any issues:

Have you tried changing #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python2 as that script is not python 3 compatible.
Or try converting the script to python 3 with 2to3.
I found later that this was a Python version issue.. There is a patch proposed to ‘fix’ this:
