Suggestion: 'porting issues' web page
Hello all,
It occurs to me that it might be useful to compile a list of known
incompatabilities and issues between Linux and the Hurd (or I suppose
more accurately since some of these are C library or tool issues,
Debian GNU/Linux and Debian GNU/Hurd). For example, the fact that Hurd's
libc doesn't have FILE->_IO_read_ptr but that FILE->__bufp-FILE->__buffer
can be used instead, or the libtool madness (although this will evidently
be fixed soon)..I suppose /proc would be a suspect for portability headaches,
etc. Would there be interest in such a list, or are the common problems (eg
libtool) more properly reported as bugs against the packages causing them?
Daniel
