Description:
In "Do-compile.log", there are lines
   ps: cannot find user: "xww"
which might even cause the tool to abort - need to check.

In any case, the setting of "ps" options needs to be corrected.

How to repeat:
Run a build.

Suggested fix:
Better differentiation between platforms in "Do-compile".

On Tru64, there is a file "/vmunix" but still it should not be treated like a BSD system, because "ps -u" expects a user name to be given:

mysqldev@barney:~> uname -a
OSF1 barney.southplainscollege.edu V5.1 2650 alpha
mysqldev@barney:~> ps -auxww
ps: cannot find user: "xww"

So "Do-compile" needs a further check.

(Priority / severity because the build tools need to be able to kill remnant processes.)
