[Xcb] libxcb build failure

[Rémi Cardona]

Hi all,

While cleaning up our ebuilds, I came across this build error:

/usr/bin/python2.7
/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libxcb-9999/work/libxcb-9999/src/c_client.py
     -c "libxcb 1.11" -l "X Version 11" \
        -s "3" -p /dev/null \
        /usr/share/xcb/xproto.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'SimpleType' object has no attribute 'is_case_or_bitcase'

After some manual bisecting, I found that libxcb master no longer builds
(at least with our git ebuild) since 355d4d6:

    support switch case in the generator

A full build log is available here: http://pastebin.com/AvNNumZQ

Cheers,

PS, I'll gladly open a bug in bugzilla if that's the preferred way.
