------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: [BUG] Glibc without installed headers Date: July 2002 Submitter: Jeff Bailey URL: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-07/msg00265.html Status: Open Description: make install-headers no_deps=t, required for the full bootstrap, does fail. Previously all headers the Hurd installed were simple files to be copied. Now trivfs has some headers that are mig-generated, and you can't do mig generation without a proper full set of headers installed. Action: I think what we should do is have install-headers, or a differently-named new target, install just the plain headers and not the generated ones. Or it might be sufficient just to do make install-headers in the hurd subdir to build libc. Try that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: [BUG] Bug#151407: hurd: mount can't parse dselect command Date: July 2002 Submitter: Marcus Brinkmann URL: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-07/msg00001.html Status: Unable to reproduce [Barry] Description: mount doesn't support mixing argument options with non-argument options in the same dash, like this: mount -rt fs which is equivalent to: mount -r -t fs Action: Fix option parsing in mount to allow several short options with one dash. Barry deFreese: I cannot reproduce this problem and -r isn't a valid parameter to mount?? Using mount -R -t iso9660fs gives no results. Using mount -Rt iso9660fs also gives no results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: [BUG] "renice" weird behaviour Date: August 2002 Submitter: Ludovic Courths URL: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-08/msg00013.html Status: Open [Barry] Description: nice() is broken.

The problem shows up because argp uses isprint, and the new implementation of that uses ctype_b, which is a thread local variable.
