menustrings.py, right?

6.x should be able to be built without Python installed on the build
system. menustrings.py should be optional, i.e. failure to build
menustrings.py should not be fatal (it's only needed for translators).

In addition to setting PYTHONPATH, I suggest:

menustrings.py: core/menudata.py $(ETCDIR)/xml/menudata.xml $(ETCDIR)/xml/menudata_modeler.xml 
	echo > $@
	-$(call run_grass,$(PYTHON) $< >> $@)
	-$(call run_grass,$(PYTHON) $< "modeler" >> $@)
