Re: Bug#755295: Hurd term server (was: Hurd GCC ping)

[Samuel Thibault]

The latest Debian hurd package has a workaround to mimic Linux' behavior
of never returning more than 4095 bytes for non-blocking pipe reads,
which fixes the 'expect' behavior.

gcc-5 is currently building on the mahler buildd with it, it'll take a
few hours to complete, but by comparing the first test passes, I can
confirm that there are *WAY* fewer failures with this workaround in
place.  So these were really due to expect/tcl bad buffering.
