+    <pinotree> youpi: what i thought would be creating a
+      glib/hurd/hurdtime.{c,h}, adding _hurd_gettimeofday and
+      _hurd_clock_{gettime,settime,getres} to it and making the current .c in
+      sysdeps call those
+    <youpi> yep
+    <youpi> that's unfortunate, but that's what nptl actually does
+    <pinotree> this way we could add inside hurdtime.c the mapped time stuff
+      too
+    <pinotree> most probably a noobish question, but why does rt link to
+      pthread?
+    <youpi> no idea :)
+    <youpi> possibly due to aio implementation
+    <youpi> ./sysdeps/pthread/aio_cancel.c
+    <youpi> probably due to that
+    <youpi> (and others)

+    <youpi> pinotree: about librt vs libpthread, don't worry too much for now
+    <youpi> libpthread can lib against the already-installed librt
+    <youpi> it does work
+    <pinotree> youpi: wouldn't that cause a dependency loop?
+    <youpi> pinotree: what dependency loop?
+    <pinotree> youpi: librt wouldd link to pthread, no?
+    <youpi> and ?
+    <youpi> I don't think it's an issue that .so link with each other
+    <pinotree> it isn't?
+    <youpi> well, try
+    * pinotree never did that
+    <youpi> but I don't think it will pose problem
+    <youpi> well, perhaps initialization order
+    <youpi> anyway, I now have packages built, I'll test that
+    <youpi> pinotree: ok, it seems it doesn't work indeed :)
+    <youpi> early in initialization
+    <youpi> pinotree: the initialization bug might actually not be due to librt
+      at all
+    <youpi> pinotree: yes, things work even with -lrt
+    <pinotree> wow
