Fix gtk-doc

[Douglas R. Reno]

With gtk-doc-1.26, I get the following error after installing all dependencies (including 'six' which was in Runtime)

gtk-doc was configured with the following options:
==================================================

Creating this ticket to remind me to fix it.

This is an issue in itstool, not gtk-doc, it seems.

Replying to Krejzi:

This is an issue in itstool, not gtk-doc, it seems.

Yes, with itstool-2.0.4, I get:

/bin/sh: line 4:  3886 Segmentation fault itstool -m "${mo}" ${d}/C/index.docbook ${d}/C/fdl-appendix.xml

Don't know if it is a problem with itstool or fdl-appendix.xml. In any case, it shouldn't seg fault on bad input, but produce an error.

Reverting to itstool-2.0.2 fixes the gtkdoc build problem for me.

It's a problem in 2.0.4 to be specific. The patch which was supposed to fix the perf issue I was talking about in other bug introduced this. Arch maintainer commented on the bug and said something similar happens when building rhythmbox.

Should be fixed with patch added by Dj in r19378
