Not for user programs; those are all for servers. It was you, in fact, who insisted originally that we should not have a separate library for "the Hurd", any more than there is a separate "Linux" library. It's not a huge deal, but still. > Nonsense.

We haven't done that in the past; libc has historically had lots of nonportable interfaces, and not just for the Hurd. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
