[Pkg-qof-maintainers] Bug#463392: qof: erronous check for *linux* to detect symbols versioning support

[Aurelien Jarno]

Package: qof
Version: 0.7.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

qof wrongly checks for *linux* to detect symbols versioning support.
The Linux kernel is nothing related with symbols versioning, all the job
is done by the toolchain. That is qof will fails to compile on a
Linux/uClibc platform.

On the contrary GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/Hurd, as they are using a GNU
libc and a GNU toolchain do support symbols versioning.

As the check is wrong, and as debian/*.symbols files have been added 
recently, qof do not build anymore on GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/Hurd.

Please find below a patch to fix that.
