Bug#499135: gst0.10-python hardcodes incorrect RTLD constants for MIPS

[Thiemo Seufer]

Package: gst0.10-python
Version: 0.10.12-1
Severity: minor

While debugging a different python problem I noticed that gst0.10-python
hardcodes RTLD constants to the same value for all Linux platforms. For
Linux/MIPS, however, the RTLD_GLOBAL and RTLD_LAZY constants have
different values. The appended patch fixes this.

Note that this patch doesn't change anything in most cases, as the
codepath gets only triggered when python doesn't provide dlopen
support. AFAICS any semi-modern python on Linux supports this, so an
equally valid solution would be to remove the 'Linux' code path
altogether.
