Re: Compiling ext2fs.static with pthreads

Some notes here, now that I've thought some more and done some more:

I figured out why I needed to include the one object file: the libpthread.a 
linker
script was linking to the system libpthread2, instead of the libpthread2 that I 
had
built. Forcing it to build with that breaks it. I doesn't work as a translator 
anymore.
The system libpthread2... should be the Debian one, either from the image,
or from hurd-20120408 (which installed when I asked for hurd-dbg and libc-dbg).
Now, the translator gets into __pthread_setup and dies there with an assertion
failure: invalid port (thread: it just called __thread_set_pcsptp).


On the bright side, now trying to boot with it and trying to use it as a 
translator
both crash at the same point. That should make it easier to figure out what's
going on, when I have more time.

Sorry to get your hopes up,
