Hi!
So, Guix's glibc-2.35 has patches for centiseconds and monotonic (and
others) that were forward ported since glibc 2.31, instead of refreshed
from upstream Debian Salsa:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/patches/glibc-hurd-clock_gettime_monotonic.patch
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/patches/glibc-hurd-clock_t_centiseconds.patch
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/patches/glibc-hurd-gettyent.patch
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/patches/glibc-hurd-mach-print.patch
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/patches/glibc-hurd-signal-sa-siginfo.patch
As discussed on IRC, I reverted
glibc-hurd-clock_gettime_monotonic.patch
glibc-hurd-clock_t_centiseconds.patch
and applied
https://salsa.debian.org/glibc-team/glibc/-/blob/sid/debian/patches/hurd-i386/local-clock_gettime_MONOTONIC.diff
https://salsa.debian.org/glibc-team/glibc/-/blob/sid/debian/patches/hurd-i386/unsubmitted-clock_t_centiseconds.diff
I disregarded/kept the others as they were (gettyent, mach-print,
signal-sa-siginfo).
With this newly patched glibc
https://gitlab.com/janneke/guix/-/tree/wip-hurd12
rumpdisk still crashes, but the good news (I guess) is that it seems to
get somewhat further, or at least it crashes differently. Here are the
last 24 (WTF, 1980 wants their screensize back!?) lines (I don't know
how to get the full log from QEMU):

I'm aware that
https://salsa.debian.org/glibc-team/glibc/-/blob/sid/debian/patches/hurd-i386
has an odd 50 patches that we are not using in Guix...Also, we're using
a much newer rumpkernel source (latest), so it could be anything...
Again, any help or insights higly appreciated!
Greetings,
Janneke
