Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-8776:
----------------------------------------------

* I think we should call the flag {{\--build-native}}, and have it take 
{{true}} or {{false}} as an argument.  That way it will be useful in more 
cases.  For example, we may want to verify that the unit tests pass on Linux 
when the native libraries are not present.

* remember to rebase on trunk now that HDFS-3753 is in.  You'll need to avoid 
passing {{\-Drequire.test.libhadoop}} when the native build is disabled.

> The test-patch script in Hadoop source runs a native compile with the patch. 
> On platforms like MAC, there are issues with the native compile that make it 
> difficult to use test-patch. This JIRA is to try and provide an option to 
> make the native compilation optional.
