[DRE-maint] Bug#679782: ruby-ffi: FTBFS on hurd-i386: wrong platform directory

[Pino Toscano]

Package: ruby-ffi
Version: 1.0.11debian-4
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

currently[1], ruby-ffi fails to build on hurd-i386.

This happens because of a test fails, and this is due to the custom
platform directory (with types.conf file inside) added by patch
0001-Add-types.conf-files-for-missing-Debian-architecture.patch
which is not correct; lib/ffi/platform.rb normalizes all the x86 CPUs
as "i386", so the platform directory for hurd-i386 must be named
"i386-gnu" instead of "i486-gnu". With the correct platform directory,
the ruby-ffi test suite fully passes.
