[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#793346: hyphy: FTBFS (32-bit): SimpleListTest._LengthConstructorTest fails

[Jakub Wilk]

The test looks like this:

    _SimpleList sl((long)7);
    EXPECT_EQ(8,sizeof(sl.lData));

where _SimpleList is defined as:

class _SimpleList:public BaseObj
{            
	...
        long* lData;
	...
}

So what the test essentially checks if pointer size is 8. This is of 
course false on 32-bit architectures, and not a useful thing to check 
elsewhere.

I'm certain that upstream meant to check for something else, but not 
sure what exactly.

So I'd ask upstream to fix their broken test, and disable it in the mean 
time.
