Honestly, I would prefer that we just require pretty darn new libc for use with hurd. But if that is really an imposition, using #ifdef is fine for this. There is no great loss in just disabling the new functionality.
I don't see any problems with this, the Hurd and glibc are quite tightly linked in more ways then one. What one can do is to add a config check to autoconf that will barf if you try to compile the Hurd with a older glibc. And then maybe have a --enable-old-glibc switch to override it. This would also clean up a bit in [hurd]/configure.in. Not sure how one would detect the version of glibc in a sane manner though. __GLIBC_PREREQ only cares about major and minor versions; we would need some kind of a mini-version check. Anyway, what do you think about doing something like that?
