I don't see how a statically linked program can be affected by a glibc
upgrade. Note that I didn't recompile the Hurd with the new glibc.
It's likely to be a problem in the libc or ld.so initialization code,
in particar the argument/environment vector munging that we do at
various stages. And those things are done differently if a program is
started directly by Mach or serverboot or via the exec server.
The dates Marcus mentions make the following change a bit suspect:
2001-03-24 Mark Kettenis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/init-first.c: Include <assert.h>.
(_dl_argv): Declare.
(init) [SHARED]: Readjust _dl_argv if we switched to a new stack.
I'm fairly sure things were working OK on my machine, but I can
remember problems similar to the ones Marcus is observing when working
on that patch. Perhaps the assertion in
sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/init-first.c:init() is failing?
