Bug#236331: dpkg-architecture does not rewrite gcc system type i586-gnu properly

[Michael Banck]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.18
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Architecture: hurd-i386

rewrite_gnu() in dpkg-architecture does not work properly for current
hurd-i386 systems. Apparently, the output of 'gcc -dumpmachine' got
changed to read 'i586-gnu' some time back, which results in the
following warning from dpkg-architecture:

dpkg-architecture: warning: Unknown gcc system type i586-gnu, falling
        back to default (native compilation)
dpkg-architecture: warning: Specified GNU system type i386-gnu does
        not match gcc system type i586-gnu.

This is really highly annoying when building debian packages.

The attached patch (prepared and approved by Marcus Brinkmann) fixes
this.


Thanks,

Michael
