(the define, not the evilness) pinotree: i think it's because the Hurd is closer to the BSD interfaces, probably because of Mach (which is itself derived from BSD4.2) braunr: but mach being bsd-ish won't make the userland (glibc) interfaces bsd-ish, will it? pinotree: no braunr: so...? :) pinotree: i guesse there are bsdisms in the glibc hurd specific code, possibly because of mach or they used to be bsdisms, before being standardized e.g. mmap braunr: hrmm... braunr: the BSDisms are there on purpose... Hurd was originally even meant to be binary-compatible with BSD nothing to do with Mach really antrik: ok
