I compiled glibc from savannah and used it with the Hurd recently without problems. I don't know where Marcus gets his glibc sources from when he generates the .deb's.

Pay special attention to sysdeps/hurd, sysdeps/mach etc.... You'll quickly find out what changes apply to the Hurd. > Is there a list of patches against glibc that need to be maintained for > the Hurd to work properly? No. The current glibc _is_ the actual official C-lib for the Hurd. -Farid. -- Farid Hajji -- Unix Systems and Network Admin | Phone: +49-2131-67-555 Broicherdorfstr. 83, D-41564 Kaarst, Germany | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + - - - - - - - - - - - - One OS To Rule Them All And In The Darkness Bind Them... --Bill Gates. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
