So: do I need to ask Gordon to recompile glibc including /usr/lib as the
default-rpath? I think for the time being we should go with /usr not being
a symlink to / . I know hurd can have overlay directories and so on, but
this will just create difficulties in porting. We can always change later,
but I think keeping a linux-like feel for the time being is a good think.
Alternatively, I could make /lib a symlink to /usr/lib, but I think this
is the inferior solution in the long run. I have to wait for Gordon's
views on the subject
