Hello, for everyone doing cross compilation:
Debian packages sometimes contain absolute links from library sonames. For example, /usr/lib/libreadline.so is an absolute link to /lib/libreadline.so.2.1. Do I need to say that this screwes cross compilation? I am not sure how much breaks, but it is not nice mixing Hurd and Linux stuff this way. It _may_ be that all goes well (at least it compiled), but I am not sure and it does not feel to be the right thing. So please make sure your links are all relative, so they work if the hurd partition is mounted. I am currently recompiling most of my packages because of this and the preprocessor problem I mentioned in my other mail. Thanks, Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
