Bug#456586: boinc-client: Incorrect memory detection on kFreeBSD

[Andrew Deason]

Package: boinc-client
Version: 5.10.27-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch, sid

When running boinc-client, I noticed it reporting an odd amount of memory
in stdoutdae.txt:

02-Dec-2007 21:10:12 [---] Memory: 477.64 GB physical, 0 bytes virtual

...and I certainly do not have over 400G of physical memory in my laptop.

This is because the routines for detecting available memory don't get
called because they are '#ifdef linux'ed out. The attached patch changes
these linux-specific macro checks to glibc/gnu ones.
