Hallo! [Hurd people: this is about removing SUN RPC code from glibc, and use libtirpc instead.]

I don't see any fundamental problems, so OK from my side, and we'll fix
issues as they occur.
In fact, I just had a look at
<git://git.infradead.org/~steved/libtirpc.git>'s master branch. (That's
the correct one to use, right?)
It has very few specifc dependencies on Linux. These should be analyzed,
and probably handled differently.
./src/bindresvport.c:#ifdef __linux__
./src/clnt_dg.c:#include <linux/errqueue.h>
./src/svc_auth_gss.c: /* ANDROS: change for debugging linux kernel
version...

That one is in my court -- I already have patches for SOCK_CLOEXEC et
al. for many months...

All these seem fixable without too much effort, or we can resort to
disabling features we don't support yet. Do we have sombody volunteer
for working on that? (Please follow up on the Hurd lists only.)
Also, if libtirpc people (or anybody else) are interested in a shell
account for a GNU/Hurd system, please see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/public_hurd_boxen.html> or simply talk
to me.
