Great Daniel, thanks a lot!

Yep. I am currently uploading gnumach 1.2-9 (not necessary for this) and
hurd-20010111, which contains the Hurd part of those changes.

I send the glibc patch to Ben Collins, and he said he will add it to the
next version of the glibc Debian package (at the weekend, I think).[1] So by
the beginning of next week, I will have the Debian glibc packages
recompiled. I could provide you with experimental pakages right now, but I
think the few days more wait are okay.

Thanks,
Marcus

necessity of copyright assignment et al.
