Bug#725612: gcc-4.8: FTBFS on x32: gdc's unittest process hangs

[Daniel Schepler <dschepler@gmail.com>]

Source: gcc-4.8
Version: 4.8.1-10
Severity: important

The gcc-4.8 source package has been failing to build on x32 for a while, with
the build log showing a timeout.  Looking at what happens during the timeout,
I see a "unittest" process being run from the gdc testsuite directory which is
hung.  (And the actual history of this goes back longer than you would think
by looking at the history at buildd.debian-ports.org: I've been working around
this by killing the hung unittest process.)

See
<URL:http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gcc-4.8&arch=x32&ver=4.8.1-10&stamp=1378512744>
for an example of a failed build.
