[Patches] Problem with _SC_AIO_LIST_MAX in posixmodule.c on Linux

[Guido van Rossum]

On my Linux box (uname -a: Linux loony.cnri.reston.va.us 2.0.34 #1 Fri
May 8 16:05:57 EDT 1998 i586 unknown) I am unable to compile
posixmodule.c, because somehow the _SC_AIO_LIST_MAX symbol, while
defined, appears to have no value.

I get the following errors:

gcc  -g -O2 -I../../Modules/../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ../../Modules/posixmodule.c
../../Modules/posixmodule.c:3789: `_SC_AIO_LIST_MAX' undeclared here (not in a function)
../../Modules/posixmodule.c:3789: initializer element for `posix_constants_sysconf[10].value' is not constant

This seems a bug in the confname.h header file, which contains:

enum
  {
...
    _SC_SHARED_MEMORY_OBJECTS,
#define _SC_SHARED_MEMORY_OBJECTS       _SC_SHARED_MEMORY_OBJECTS
    _SC_AIO_LISTIO_MAX,
#define _SC_AIO_LIST_MAX                _SC_AIO_LIST_MAX
    _SC_AIO_MAX,
#define _SC_AIO_MAX                     _SC_AIO_MAX
...
  };

Note that the general pattern is

    X,
#define X X

but here the enum value uses LISTIO_MAX while the #define uses
LIST_MAX.

Can anybody here suggest a better fix than this patch?
