audit-userspace Python2 bindings fail to cross compile

Working around this by not building python2 bindings. Not sure if anyone will notice they are gone.

What version are you using?

2.8.5

We were able to workaround it in a previous version by changing the PYINCLUDEDIR line in the configure file.

Do you want to share the workaround so that it can be evaluated for merging?

sed -i \
  "s;^PYINCLUDEDIR=.*;PYINCLUDEDIR=${XBPS_CROSS_BASE}/usr/include/python${py2_ver};" \
  configure

Where XBPS_CROSS_BASE is something like aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu. But that only worked with 2.8.4. Void dropped the python2 bindings when the package updated to 2.8.5.

I'm going to close this out. Thanks for reporting it. Cross compiling seems non-operational for other reasons.
