[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] python-sip: fix compile error

[Ralf Dragon]

Dear Yann,

We also try hard to push patches upstream so that we do not have to
>>    carry them indefinitely. Please try and submit that patch to the SIP
>>    project:
>>         [3]https://riverbankcomputing.com/support/lists
>>
>> They write that siplib is no longer supported and that 4.19.25 is the last version:
>> [4]https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download  . That's why I did not consider asking there.
> What I read is that version 4 is no longer maintained:
>
>      SIP v4 is no longer supported. This is the last release.
>
> The repository is still getting a lot of attention, and they tagged
> 6.7.12 last october, which is prestty recent. Also, it looks like it is
> now a proper python package, so we should be able to migrate python-sip
> to the python-package infra now, and drop our custom _CONFIGURE_CMDS,
> _BUILD_CMDS, and _INSTLAL_CMDS altogether.
>
> Of course, pyqt5, the sole user of python-sip, may still require sip v4,
> which would preclude updating... :-(
>
> Could you look into that?

Debian did a pretty similar fix like mine 1 year ago: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=%231023913 . Freebsd 
uses pyqt5 with sip6 
https://gitlab.com/FreeBSD/freebsd-ports/-/commit/08cac15470d53f0475de0de67a94c7e2cd7e021e 
. I will do one attempt to update to their versions 5.15.10 with 6.7.12 
from SIP6.

Best,

Ralf
