Even with a new set of cross-compile tools (including mig from cvs) and recompiling gnumach, glibc and hurd from cvs yields the same error again. Besides, everything _else_ works as expected, so it is very unlikely that mig is wrong. The only thing I didn't try yet was to re[cross-]compile bash against libc 2.2.

So I know what you see, but don't know what happens in your case. This is very strange. glibc was cross-compiled directly from cvs with no changes at all (yet).
