<antrik> it's very weird for example for fd connected to files that have
been unlinked. it looks like a broken symlink, but when dereferencing

+ <pinotree> bdefreese: the two elfutils tests fail because there are no
+ /proc/$pid/maps files
+ <pinotree> that code is quite relying on linux features, like locating the
+ linux kernel executables and their modules, etc
+ <pinotree> (see eg libdwfl/linux-kernel-modules.c)
+ <pinotree> refactor elfutils to have the linux parts executed only on linux
+ :D
+ <bdefreese> Oh yeah, the maintainer already seems really thrilled about
+ Hurd.. Did you see
+ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=662041 ?
+ <pinotree> kurt is generally helpful with us (= hurd)
+ <pinotree> most probably there he is complaining that we let elfutils build
+ with nocheck (ie skipping the test suite run) instead of investigate and
+ report why the test suite failed

+ <jkoenig> pinotree, let me check
+ <jkoenig> pinotree, it's probably just a mistake, there's no way the second
