Done: <URL:http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=765>
Is it correct that this was automatically assigned to
<URL:mailto:gotom@debian.or.jp>?
At least, I'm not aware of having changed anything.

It _is_.  For me.

That one or replacing '-Os' with '-O2' finally made a fresh build
succeed (or both of them).
(I did not yet run the test suite, though, but the included
'bin/getent' etc. works.)

Maybe 'gcc -Os' produces invalid code that makes GNU Mach crash?
I'll have a look at that later.


I needed the attached patches to make it compile.  They were (partly)
discussed on the relevant mailing lists, but didn't get applied.
Shall I open bugzilla requests for them?
What's the policy for such tiny changes?
(... and why aren't they noticed by other people? -- They make the build
fail completely for me.  Perhaps everyone uses Debian's glibc...  Or
everyone is too lazy to report those tiny changes...  Or...)
