We're already tightly coupled with glibc (but not in the build itself) and as I said earlier, sysdeps for the Hurd should be a snap... -- Regards, Bill Abt Senior Software Engineer Next Generation POSIX Threading for Linux IBM Cambridge, MA, USA 02142 Ext: +(00)1 617-693-1591 T/L: 693-1591 (M/W/F) T/L: 253-9938 (T/Th/Eves.)
