[issue23072] 2.7.9 multiprocessing compile conflict

[aab]

New submission from aab:

python-2.7.9/Modules/_multiprocessing/multiprocessing.c
python-2.7.9/Modules/_multiprocessing/semaphore.c

The compile lines for the above two files have "-DHAVE_SEM_OPEN=1 -DHAVE_FD_TRANSFER=1 -DHAVE_SEM_TIMEDWAIT=0" in them.  The cpp code in those files uses "#ifdef" and "#ifndef" with those symbols commensurate with the #define/#undef commands used in 'pyconfig.h'. In my case, the biggest problem is the "-DHAVE_SEM_TIMEDWAIT=0" which DEFINES that symbol so that the "#ifndef HAVE_SEM_TIMEDWAIT" in semaphore.c fails to do what the coder wanted.  Being very lazy, I just hacked the files to use "#if SYMBOL" and "#if ! SYMBOL".  Worked fine.
