Details:

for instance:
/usr/include/hurd/signal.h: In function 'hurd_sigstate*
_hurd_self_sigstate()':
/usr/include/hurd/signal.h:136: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to
'hurd_sigstate**'
and hurd/hurd.h

Even with external "C" {  }

I tried to submit a patch to turn them c++, but roland rejected it,
saying (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2007-08/msg00006.html)
“I really think you need to find another approach.  The libc
code is in C, actually in GNU C.  The original purpose of C++ was
to be usefully interoperable with C code, and it's a shame if its
implementors have lost sight of that.  But their failings are not going
to make me start using an uglified stupid hybrid crap style instead of
GNU C.”
