[PyQt] Compilation errors of static QScintilla with Xcode 8.2.1

[Patrick Stinson]

After successfully building static latest sip, pyqt5-5.7.1, and python-3.5.2 using build-sysroot.py, I am lastly getting lots of compilation errors for QScintilla. This also happens when following the instructions “Building Static Packages” in the pyqtdeploy user guide. There are many many more similar-looking errors after the synopsis below.

Looks like errors in the source and not the config?
