  This "fixes" compilation issues for the Carbon._OSA module on OSX Leopard
  by purging bindings to OSA's debug API's. Those APIs we're completely
  unsupported on OSX 10.4 and are no longer available on OSX 10.5.

  Note that this patches a generated file. This is somewhat acceptable because
  regenerating the file is non-trivial and wouldn't use system headers anyway.
