Bug#544170: ossp-uuid: support for GNU/Hurd

[Pino Toscano]

Package: ossp-uuid
Version: 1.5.1-1.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

ossp-uuid needs a small patch for sucessfully compile on GNU/Hurd.
Basically, it just disables a part of the mac_address() function because:
a) uses MAXHOSTNAMELEN (not defined on Hurd, but could be refactored)
b) SIOCGARP requires a arpreq struct which, at the current state of Hurd's
   ioctl(), cannot be serialized

Thanks,

On Hurd, disable the SIOCGARP ioctl() way because:
a) uses MAXHOSTNAMELEN (not defined on Hurd, but could be refactored)
b) SIOCGARP requires a arpreq struct which, at the current state of Hurd's
   ioctl(), cannot be serialized
