Sorry, I wasn't closely watching what you guys were doing upstream. Yes,
upstream is pretty much planning on dropping the x suffix as far as I can
see (Daniel or Michel may have noticed otherwise though). If so, you should
probably send a patch.
Do you want me to patch the hurd/BSD stuff in what we ship to also not have
the x suffix?
