Okay, here is my semiannual list of non-Debian glibc/libpthread
problems (and also gnumach this time).

glibc:

Add a GLIBC_2.22 { __mach_host_self_; } section to mach/Versions.

Fix closing a block in hurd/Versions.

There were undefined symbol errors from pthread timer sysdeps.  I
didn't look into a real solution to this one and just worked around it
with `rm sysdeps/pthread/*timer*`.

libpthread:

Commit a87bf9a8eab3af79798131b60c1f7f92f995df8c breaks static linking
(namely ext2fs.static) from missing pthread_setcancelstate.

gnumach:

The highmem patches left a conflicting definition of pmap_map_bd in
linux/dev/glue/kmem.c.

The panic update patches produce -Wformat-security warnings--errors
with Fedora's CFLAGS.  Use a literal "%s" instead of a variable as the
format string.

And as a minor request:  Can the DDE branch be updated to apply the
patch on current master?  The branches have diverged enough that it no
longer applies cleanly as a regular patch, though it only needs
trivial adjustments.  (I'm assuming the 70_dde commit is the "proper"
upstream source of the gnumach DDE patch; let me know if there is
somewhere else I should get it.  (I need it for the Rump PCI
drivers.))

Thanks.

David
