The Debian glibc package contains this patch:

--- sysdeps/mach/hurd/Makefile  Tue Dec 22 19:15:49 1998
+++ sysdeps/mach/hurd/Makefile  Sun Dec 20 12:08:05 1998

 rpath-dirs += mach hurd
+LDFLAGS-machuser.so = -nostdlib -nostartfiles
+LDFLAGS-hurduser.so = -nostdlib -nostartfiles
 
 # And get them into the libc.so ldscript.
 $(inst_libdir)/libc.so: $(rpcuserlibs)


The only explanation is:

# DP: avoid linking libmachuser and libhurduser against libc

But it's not attributed to anyone, and there's no explanation for why
it's there.
