Bug#5365: python-base derived lib files bug

[Bill Bumgarner <bbum@friday.com>]

Package: python-base
Version: 1.4.0-1

The derived library files in linux2/ contain a number of errors related to parsing bugs found within the regen script.   The errors appear to mostly be related to regen's failure to parse multiple line #defines.  Though, it is questionable whether or not regen would derive correct values given many of the #defines that might be present throughout the system.

Specifically, from linux2/TERMIOS.py, one finds:

# Included from asm/posix_types.h
def __FD_ZERO(fdsetp): return \

...
# Included from asm/string.h
def COMMON(x): return \

def COMMON(x): return \

--- 

An example of an original definition that is unparseable [and, in this case, COMMON should never even appear in TERMIOS anyway!].

# Included from asm/string.h
def COMMON(x): return \

def COMMON(x): return \

#define COMMON(x) \
__asm__("cld\n\t" \
	"rep ; movsl" \
	x \
	: /* no outputs */ \
	: "c" (n/4),"D" ((long) to),"S" ((long) from) \
	: "cx","di","si","memory");

	switch (n % 4) {
		case 0: COMMON(""); return to;
		case 1: COMMON("\n\tmovsb"); return to;
		case 2: COMMON("\n\tmovsw"); return to;
		case 3: COMMON("\n\tmovsw\n\tmovsb"); return to;
	}
#undef COMMON
}
