managed in pwdx.c

Sure these both can be done. I will do it.

I did not understand this. Can you please tell me what you meant and where are 
those spurious spacing changes?

Message:
Also, why removing tload?  Shouldn't it work?  You should probably also
discuss with kfreebsd people whether removing pmap, slabtop there too
(that code should probably be shared)

Message:
This is the second patch and I think this should be applied, since this adds 
few additional tools that should not be installed on Hurd.

By definition, sizeof(char) is 1.

for the buf allocation, can't you just use 6 + strlen(argv[i]) + 4 + 1 ?

Instead of using strlen(pathbuf), just remember the size you allocated
last time.

Take care of spurious spacing changes, always read the patch itself to
check for those.
