Bug Description
Binary package hint: lmbench
The gnu-os script in lmbench requires features.h (part of libc6-dev) to determine the installed version of libc. If features.h is not installed, gnu-os incorrectly guesses 'gnulibc1'. This causes a failure to find the benchmark scripts, which are in a directory determined by the CPU+OS type (e.g. /usr/lib/
To reproduce:
apt-get remove libc6-dev
apt-get install lmbench
/usr/lib/
The output is 'i686-pc-
apt-get install libc6-dev
/usr/lib/
gnu-os now outputs 'i686-pc-
Tested on LPIA arch, but presumably affects i386 too.

I mangled Maintainer field as per spec, s/inrepid/intrepid/ (typo) and sponsored it, thanks ;)
Could this be forwarded to Debian too?
