Sorry if it gives you a bad impression, although OTOH there's a number of packages (of which few important) that requires elfutils libraries. > I filed a bug for the problem in hurd's upstream bug tracker ages > ago. Do you mean http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32770 ? Also please note that elfutils is full of linuxisms, such as: - it assumes that /proc/$pid/maps exist (libdwfl/linux-proc-maps.c) - it looks for Linux kernels and modules (libdwfl/linux-kernel-modules.c) there's no bad thing in doing them... as long as they are done only on Linux. Should elfutils be assumed as "Linux" stuff (so other OSes must emulate all the things it assumes to exist), or could it be fixed to check for Linux stuff only on Linux? -- Pino Toscano
