Do you plan on changing the definition on GNU/Linux, then? To me, it
seems obvious that using different definitions of struct sockaddr on
linux and hurd will make it impossible to run a socket application
binary on the hurd, if it's compiled for GNU/Linux, and vice versa.

Or have we dropped the plans for binary compatibility between
GNU/Linux and the hurd (when running on the same cpu)?
