And, first and foremost, thanks to you for working on this topic!


One thing that comes to mind, by the way, is that the original Debian and
your patched package have been built in different environments, by
different compilers, so the comparison between them is not completely
unbiased, but probably (hopefully!) that shouldn't affect the results
very much.

As you asked on IRC, I'm simply attaching a tarball containing all the
log files, also a few from an earlier 2:1.3.99.dfsg.git20120219-1 run
(with older hurd* and libc0.3* packages, too, and without netdde), in
case that might be interesting too.  Please ask if there is anything
unclear about which file is which.

Also I'm happy to run further tests -- I'll leave the system in the
current state.


Grüße,
 Thomas
