Bug#593138: ruby1.9.1: FTBFS on sparc: test suite hangs

[Lucas Nussbaum <lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net>]

Source: ruby1.9.1
Version: 1.9.2~svn28788-1
Severity: serious

Ruby's test suite (make test-all) hangs on sparc. I had to do a manual
upload after disabling the test suite.

There's an history of sparc problems with ruby 1.9.*. See #545345 and
#565765.

Since it works fine on amd64, armel, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc and
s390, I believe this is an architecture-specific problem. Ruby's test
suite is known to exercise threads in interesting ways.
