Why not just mentioning the required version/date of glibc in INSTALL? It already says: |The Hurd version 0.2 has been verified to work with versions 2.0.3 |and 2.0.4 of the GNU C library. (But note that version 2.0.3 has |some easily-fixed bugs in compilation for the i386-gnu

There is no reason to do version checks. If you check for anything, you check for the features you need. I was thinking more along the lines so that the user will know that he/she is using a old version of libc. Because otherwise we would have to add each feature we depend on into our conf

Honestly, I would prefer that we just require pretty darn new libc for use with hurd. But if that is really an imposition, using #ifdef is fine for this. There is no great loss in just disabling the new functionality. I don't see any problems with this, the Hurd and glibc are quite t
