[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#754615: libguestfs: FTBFS on mips: make[2]: *** [quickcheck] Alarm clock

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I'm slightly surprised that libguestfs ever worked on MIPS.  We've
certainly never tested it upstream.

The error is a hang in the appliance, which eventually causes
libguestfs-test-tool to hit its default timeout (600 seconds).

It's not really possible to tell what is causing the hang.  We'd need
to have access to MIPS hardware to debug this further.

However it happens just after starting udev, which may or may not be
related.  Here is the code:
