+
+GNU Emacs mostly does work, however there are a few issues.
+
+ * `dired` on a directory hangs. (Use `C-g C-g` to break the unresponsive
+ operation.)
+
+ * Configuration in `src/s/`: `gnu.h` uses `bsd-common.h`. `gnu-kfreebsd.h`
+ uses `gnu-linux.h` -- we probably should too.
+
+ * `gnu-linux.h` makes a few things depend on `/proc` (also see
+ `HAVE_PROCFS`) -- either resort to our own ways, or enhance our
+ [[hurd/translator/procfs]] accordingly.
+
+ * `sysdep.c`
+
+ * Got a hang when compiling GNU Emacs 23, when it was compiling `.el` to
+ `.elc` files. Looked like busy-looping inside glibc. This was not
+ reproducible so far.
