+From: Modestas Vainius <modax@debian.org>
+Subject: Fix FTBFS on GNU/kFreeBSD (and likely Gnu/Hurd)
+Forwarded: yes
+Origin: vendor
+
+The original failure [1] was caused by the fact that cxxabi.h execinfo.h etc.
+includes where guarded more restrictively (e.g. additionally by  __linux) than
+the code which needs them (just by e.g.
+KWSYS_SYSTEMINFORMATION_HAS_CPP_DEMANGLE).  kFreeGNU has some of these headers
+hence extend __linux ifdef to kFreeBSD and GNU Hurd as well.
+
+Ideally, the code should be fixed to have the same level of ifdef protection in
+all places.
