Compile ESP8266 firmware, tries to upload firmware? Is there an option or configuration file I can set to stop this from being attempted, or am I reading the output wrong? I am setting up everything in a virtual machine, and plan to copy bin files to a different system. So I just want to compile the given port and be done at this point, don't want esptool.py script to attempt to run.

What make command line are you using?
Does it have "deploy" on the end (if so, remove it).

No, no deploy, it is an odd error in the older version of esptool.py I had, and did not realize initially how old the esptool.py version was. The error was misleading, it was just outdated, a syntax issue in python script code that happen to fail at or in the 'deploy' logic of the script. The script was python2 based, and python3 was choking on it.
