+Rebased for Python 2.7.9
+
+Signed-Off-By: Alejandro Hernandez <alejandro.hernandez@linux.intel.com>
+
+2011/09/29
+The python recipe building was failing because python-native 
+could not handle sys.lib var. sys.lib var is defined in the 
+multilib patch hence added this multilib.patch for python-native 
+recipe.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [oe-specific]
