Munteanu,

I was talking with Marcus about this on ##hurd and there apparently are 
missing weak aliases for these functions in glibc.

Someone needs to add weak_alias (__setresgid, setresgid) to 
sysdeps/mach/hurd/setresgid.c
and weak_alias (__setresuid, setresuid) to sysdeps/mach/hurd/setresuid.c

At least I hope I got that right..  If I think I can get it right, I'll 
try to send something upstream to glibc.

Take care,
