Description:
The attached patch from Michael Banck <mbanck@debian.org> will help compiling MySQL on GNU/Hurd systems. His comments:

" The configure check on how to run ps to get mysqld's $PID does not
  work on the Hurd, as the PPID is prepended with a - for login shells,
  thus making grep look for -bash, which it complains as an invalid
  argument.  Filtering out '-' from the ps output makes this work fine. "

bye,

-christian-

How to repeat:
Try building it on GNU/Hurd.
