I think the patch is fine. Checking for this at configure time breaks cross compilation anyway. BTW, the Hurd has "device nodes" (which is simply a bit flag in the stat information), but the values are set by the translator, and as such "bogus" by design ;) I think it was considered once to set them to "something" as an additional piece of information, but I forgot what was proposed exatcly. I only know that it wasn't a very appealing idea. Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
