Description Matt Turner gentoo-dev

piglit, the OpenGL test suite we use for Mesa development, has been broken for a few months since python 2.7.4. A number of Mesa developers are now new gentoo users, so I've had to show them how to mask >=dev-lang/python-2.7.4:2.7 in order for our test suite to run.

Apparently the regression has been fixed upstream for 2.7.6. Let's please apply this patch to 2.7.5 as well.
