[OT]: Hurd microkernel portability.

[Cherry George Mathew]

Hello,

Sorry to barge into the filesystems discussion, but I'm wondering
whether the hurd team has decided on what level exactly to bind the hurd
to a microkernel ? The last I heard of this on the l4-hurd list was a
discussion about ripping up the libc library once again, I think by
Farid Hajji or so. I'm writing to ask whether its been decided how to
tackle this issue of portability, which indirectly affects the
portability of the Hurd as a whole. For example, has anyone decided what
to do about the Hurd's bindings to Mach ports ? It tickles to me read
things like, "netbsd, the most portable OS in the world", and stuff like
that.

Cheers,

George.
