Hi Manolis, Thanks for dealing with this, and for persevering, despite the difficult situation. Think of you as a pioneering explorer. ;-)

(This was actually easier when I packaged it in Nixpkgs, before libpthread was made a glibc add-on.) Samuel’s suggestion to install glibc headers just to be able to build libihash & co. seems to be the easiest one. Could you try making a ‘glibc-headers’ package whose build phase does nothing and whose install phase does ‘make install-headers’? Thanks, Ludo’.
