I have no idea. I guess we'd need to do better then just grep for it. A proper test would probably generate fs_U.h from fs.defs and try to compile a minimal test program that includes it and calls file_exec_file_name, or something like that. Perhaps you could ask for pointers from some actual autoconf people. Hopefully, they have some kind of support list like hurd-help. Anyway, this is the only real issue left. Though, I did manage shake out some more comment errors. ;-) > I have left the HURD_INTERFACE_VERSION patch out.

I agree, except that we'll probably need to keep it around while old versions of glibc are still floating around, so if we decide to remove it we should just deprecate it and remove the test in glibc. When it comes to the actual decision, as long as it is easy to check if RPCs are compatible, there is no reason to keep HURD_INTERFACE_VERSION around, IMHO. Regards, Fredrik
