[New-bugs-announce] [issue12976] select module: only use EVFILT_TIMER if available (kqueue backend)

[Benny Siegert]

New submission from Benny Siegert <bsiegert at gmail.com>:

When building python-2.6 on MirBSD, building the select module (which uses the kqueue backend on this platform) fails. This is because EVFILT_TIMER is not available on the platform.

The proposed patch is for python-2.6 but should apply to tip too.

This was discovered when building the python package from NetBSD pkgsrc, so the patch is taken from there.
