Re: EDK2 master build failure

["Gao, Liming" <liming.gao@intel.com>]

In Misc.py, it import string class. But, in the same directory, there is source file String.py. Seemly, python interpreter wrongly imports String.py and cause this issue. This issue may happen on the case insensitive file system. 

We meet with such issue before. We set up virtual machine on windows OS to run Linux build, edk2 source code is downloaded in windows OS and shared to virtual linux machine, then do linux build will cause such issue. To avoid it, we download edk2 source code in Linux machine and build them pass. 

Thanks
