Yes. It's also the reason for a bunch of testsuite failures, notably
glib. I spent time on adding the patch to glibc this week-end, and
currently adding it to the hurd package now.

Good news is: as hoped, icon now passes the testsuite fine!

I'm finalizing the patches, will upload the hurd package, eglibc
will build, then rebuild hurd, and then icon should build fine, then
ifupdown.
