Patching the files would be wrong.  Instead, find out the actual cause.

As you can see in libs/gst/controller/Makefile (around line 1096), the
file is autogenerated by glib-mkenums.

bmake build-env
cd libs/gst/controller
make clean
make V=1 controller-enumtypes.c

The program glib-mkenums is written in Python and is relatively easy to
understand.  You can add print statements in it to see what is happening
and to track down the actual cause.
