Title:  [BUG] Glibc without installed headers  
Date: July 2002
Submitter:  Jeff Bailey
URL:  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-07/msg00265.html
Status: Open
Description:
  make install-headers no_deps=t, required for the full bootstrap, does
  fail.
  Previously all headers the Hurd installed were simple files to be copied.
  Now trivfs has some headers that are mig-generated, and you can't do mig
  generation without a proper full set of headers installed.
Action:
  I think what we should do is have install-headers, or a differently-named
  new target, install just the plain headers and not the generated ones.
  Or it might be sufficient just to do make install-headers in the hurd
  subdir to build libc.  Try that.

Title:  [BUG] Bug#151407: hurd: mount can't parse dselect command  
Date: July 2002
Submitter:  Marcus Brinkmann
URL:  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-07/msg00001.html
Status: Unable to reproduce [Barry]
Description:
  mount doesn't support mixing argument options with non-argument options
  in the same dash, like this:  mount -rt fs
  which is equivalent to:       mount -r -t fs
Action:
  Fix option parsing in mount to allow several short options with one dash.

Barry deFreese:
I cannot reproduce this problem and -r isn't a valid parameter to mount??
Using mount -R -t iso9660fs gives no results.
Using mount -Rt iso9660fs also gives no results.

Action:

Barry deFreese:
I was unable to reproduce this problem.
Running:

  $ settrans -ca t /hurd/storeio -T gunzip file.gz
  $ cat t

Gives empty file for t with no errors.

Title:  [BUG] argp crashes because of CTYPE_B threadvar being 0
Date:  November 2002
Submitter:  Marcus Brinkmann
URL:  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2002-11/msg00221.html
Status: Possibly fixed in later glibc package [Barry]
Description:
  the glibc 2.3 has another problem, which is exhibited by fsysopts on a
  server.  The problem shows up because argp uses isprint, and the new
  implementation of that uses ctype_b, which is a thread local variable.
  However, this variable is only set for the main thread, all other thread
  have this variable set to 0.  Thus isprint crashes.
Action:
  Verify that this bug does not still exist.
