Re: Some packages that compiled fine for hurd-i386

["Alfred M. Szmidt" <ams@kemisten.nu>]

   I've actually tried to send the patch not gzipped but it didn't get
   through, so I thought I was hitting a size limit and gzipped it.

gzipping a file over email is silly since it gets encoded using
base64. Take the following example:

foobarbazquux

==> { base64 } 

Zm9vYmFyYmF6cXV1eA==

7 bytes longer then the original.
