Thanks Samuel,

I was hoping there might be a quick fix to the makefile for this,
but realise now its probably that the package is OS specific (like valgrind).
I have found several exit (-1) in the source code that would result in a 255, but its odd that stderr seems silent.

Cheers,

Just curious. Has anyone ever tried using electric-fence on Hurd?
