Bug#94127: debian/rules2 contains Linuxism

[Jeff Bailey <jbailey@oasis.zugzug.com>]

Package: gcc-2.95
Severity: important

The testsuite in rules2 (appears twice) does:

+       -echo "Running testsuite ..."; \
+         m=`awk '/^((Mem|Swap)Free|Cached)/{m+=$$2}END{print int(m*.9)}' \
+               /proc/meminfo`; \
+         ulimit -m $$m; \
+         echo "Limited memory for test runs to `ulimit -m`kB"; \
+         $(MAKE) -C $(builddir) -k check 2>&1 | tee test-protocol

There is no proc filesystem on the Hurd.

Is the ulimit critical to the test suite?  If not, can you wrap the 'awk' and
'ulimit' lines with 

ifneq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),hurd-i386)
         m=`awk '/^((Mem|Swap)Free|Cached)/{m+=$$2}END{print int(m*.9)}' \
               /proc/meminfo`; \
         ulimit -m $$m; 
endif

You may want to approach this a different way, since this makes "Linux" the
norm, and "Hurd" the deviant.  It would probably be better to test if
the DEB_HOST_ARCH were a member of the "Linux" family.  I don't know a
good way to do this (Please let me know if you do, it will be useful to
me elsewhere!)
