I even ran it directly from the build directory and it still reports
b1.

I do have b1 installed in another directory (that was in the path when
I compiled b2). Maybe I need to remove that version of python before
compiling the new one. I used different --prefix= values when
compiling each one, but since the other one was still in the path, it
may have messed up.
