glibc 2.4 is completely unusable for GNU/Hurd at the moment, Not true. It might be true for Debian GNU/Hurd though.
Also, a GCC 4.1-build glibc doesn't work correctly: it already fails during the building process, as soon as the newly created libc.so is being used (might also be ld.so, I don't remember exactly). GCC 4.1 built glibc works very well. So, dear reader, if you want to help, please speak up: either directly to me or -- preferred -- on the <bug-hurd@gnu.org> mailing list. Sorry, but I am not allowed to help. The next snapshot of the GNU system will incoperate all these patches though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
