The Hurd does not use the Linux kernel, so any kernel specific workarounds
that are done for Linux in general would not apply here. All signal handling
is done through glibc. I'm not an expert on this so if you have any Hurd
specific questions, you can post them to here (debian-hurd@lists.debian.org).
Also here's some more useful information. After I compiled Kaffe, I ran make
check in the source tree. IIRC there were 3 tests that failed.
Preempt.java:
preempting didn't work and the program was deadlocked after
printing
started 5 threads
thread 0
StackDump.java:
from what I could trace, it segfaulted in what seemed to be a
function produced by the JIT. I haven't tried Kaffe without JIT yet, since
right now my Hurd box is almost unusable because of file system corruption. I
need to try a fresh install.
UncaughtException.java:
I think that was the last one that failed, i didn't get far with this one.

Thanks, I'd like to try and solve the problem with putting file descriptors in
ASYNC mode, however I doubt I'll be able to do anything before the end of the
week.
So can anyone post a simple example, that puts a descripter in ASYNC mode and
doesn't hang on the Hurd?
