Hi folks, a user sent me a bug report that the m7i43_hm2.comp driver won't
compile on Debian Sarge. Sarge has python 2.3; upgrading to python 2.4
apparently makes it work again. The oldest Ubuntu distro in our buildfarm
is Breezy Badger, which has Python 2.4. BDI-4.51 has python 2.4 too.
All the other .comp files apparently compile fine with python 2.3.
Note that m7i43_hm2.comp is the largest .comp file in the emc2 source,
at over 3k lines. The next smaller one is mesa7i43_gpio.comp at 500
lines, followed by pluto_step.comp at 325 lines.
The python 2.3 comp error is:
../bin/comp --document -o ../docs/man/man9/m7i43_hm2.9
hal/drivers/m7i43_hm2.comp
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/tmp/emc2/lib/python/yapps/runtime.py", line 284, in token
m = regexp.match(self.input, self.pos)
RuntimeError: maximum recursion limit exceeded
Is this a known problem with the older python interpreter?
(This issue is similar to the libpciaccess dependency thing we discussed
last week. How old is too old?)
Is there a mechanism to disable compilation of individual drivers?
The CONFIG_FOO stuff in Makefile.inc.in looks tantalizing but seems to
have no effect on .comp files (even after running ./configure to update
Makefile.inc).
The user reports that simply removing m7i43_hm2.comp makes the rest of
the system build successfully.
