But then there is the question on how much work it would be to port the **systemd** implementations to FreeBSD or Hurd, if using and maintaining those bash re-implementations is futile. I tried to build systemd-sysusers against the FreeBSD libc, which obviously is not going to be easy. But all the Debian arches use glibc and problems I found where in common, but unused, code and obviously pretty glibc specific stuff. Did someone already try to build just those binaries e.g. on Hurd? Regards, Bastian PS: Why the hack is alloca in alloca.h on glibc, but stdlib.h on BSD?
