[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#787751: libuv1: FTBFS - tests fail (mainly pipe_set_non_blocking)

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: libuv1
Version: 1.4.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

The automated builds of libuv1 all failed with test suite errors.
For some reason, pipe_set_non_blocking failed everywhere:

  `pipe_set_non_blocking` failed: exit code 6
  Output from process `pipe_set_non_blocking`:
  Assertion failed in test/test-pipe-set-non-blocking.c on line 51: n == 0

In addition, loop_configure failed with no explanation on mips and mipsel:

  `loop_configure` failed: exit code 6
  Output from process `loop_configure`: (no output)

Worse yet, most tests failed on arm64, in many cases reporting
timeouts:

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
