Re: exec server and /dev/fd/N

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Hi,

Regarding glibc checking for the presence of file_exec_file_name in configure,
Thomas said he's happy if we just let the build fail if the RPC is not present.
Should we check for it or is that fine? If it's fine, I believe these patches
are ready to be pushed. If we need to check for it, I have an m4 macro that will
check it, although it needs a few fixes (I'm an m4 noob).

Roland, these patches are needed for glib's make check (and possibly other
stuff). If they are good, can you commit the glibc patch? Carl will push the
Hurd ones then.

Thank you,
Emilio
