I still consider this a bug in HURD, but I'll add the workaround." If you feel better about it use #ifdef __GNU__.

I've seen 2 or 3 promised for that to happen but never any action afaik." It's as I wrote above. perl-5.005 has it, perl-5.6 had it not. The next version of perl-5.6 should have it, I reminded Darren.

A quick peek in configure.in shows no pattern matching code at all.." That's the problem. You use awk + "==" operator where you need pattern matching. It's this patch from http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg-0011/msg00017.html I am talking about.
