Strange behaviour after cross-compiling

[Farid Hajji <farid.hajji@ob.kamp.net>]

Hi,

I cross-compiled glibc and the Hurd and installed them over Marcus'
freeX Hurd distribution. Strange behaviour results:

1. gnumach from CVS can't do color display (that's okay, but
   I'd like to know how the freeX gnumach.gz was generated!).
2. passwords are displayed on screen; every command is
   also echoed after being submitted.
3. commands can be used as usual (e.g. ls works etc...),
   but as soon as non-dumb screen capabilities are needed
   (including pipes!), I get the following error message:

bash [36: 1] tcsetattr: (ipc/mig) server type check failure

The error is not only from bash, but from other programs as well,
e.g. vi:

ex/vi: Error: tcsetattr: (ipc/mig) server type check failure

Every time this error occurs, the program is stopped by bash
and resuming it with 'fg' results in the same error again.

I tried to set TERM from mach-color to dumb, but the error
remains.

What's going on?

P.S.: I'm running the Hurd on a ufs (FreeBSD ffs) partition
mounted with ufs.static.

Thanks,

-Farid.
