Varnish package build - tests fail

[Viktor Villafuerte]

this is the spec file section. Please, note the 'make check' line. I
haven't actually tried to comment it out, but found on the internet an
article that says to take it out if tests fail etc.

I don't feel very comfortable to taking them all out as I'm sure that
(at least some) they're important..?

Also as the code snippet below shows, I could simply delete the one test
in question from the source, but again I'm not sure that it's the best
thing to do.

# The redhat ppc builders seem to have some ulimit problems?
# These tests work on a rhel4 ppc/ppc64 instance outside the builders
%ifarch ppc64 ppc
        %if 0%{?rhel} == 4
                rm bin/varnishtest/tests/c00031.vtc
                rm bin/varnishtest/tests/r00387.vtc
        %endif
%endif

make check %{?_smp_mflags} LD_LIBRARY_PATH="../../lib/libvarnish/.libs:../../lib/libvarnishcompat/.libs:../../lib/libvarnishapi/.libs:../../lib/libvcc/.libs:../../lib/libvgz/.libs" VERBOSE=1

%install
rm -rf %{buildroot}
make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} INSTALL="install -p"
