> I'm still waiting for the Hurd people to say how they stand wrt libtirpc.
The intent for the Hurd is always to keep all things shared with the
prevailing GNU/Linux practice as it evolves, except for any changes which
are intrinsically Linux-specific. The sunrpc issues are not of that
nature. If there are Hurd issues with missing librpc (for its nfs client
and server programs, etc.), the Hurd community will catch up to prevailing
practice by submitting portability fixes to libtirpc or whatnot.
Thanks,
