+Modify the [[building/cross-compiling]] shell script to configure GCC for

+
+Compiling a most-trivial C++ program used to work with GCC 4.2 and 4.3 (and the

+Whether this defect report also applies to a natively-build GCC from SVN trunk
+has not yet been checked.
+
+[[Thomas_Schwinge|tschwinge]] suspects the problem to be a configuration issue
+of a GCC helper library, whose configuration setup has changed after GCC 4.3.
+
+The need for `-lpthread` is another story. See the Debian glibc patches
+repository for details.

+
+[[tag open_issue_glibc open_issue_hurd open_issue_gnumach]]
+
+Just like in other Unix systems one can, for example, use `fdisk` or `parted`
+to manage hard disks' partition tables. After doing changes to a disk's
+partition table, the kernel has to be instructed to reinitialize its internal
+data structures: where does a partition begin, where does it end, etc.
+
+With `fdisk` and friends this is done on Linux with the `BLKRRPART` IOCTL,
+which is used to tell the kernel to reread the disk's partition table.
+
+`parted` also uses this interface on Linux, but for GNU Hurd, the corresponding
+function, `libparted/arch/gnu.c (gnu_disk_commit)`, doesn't do anything at all.
+The infrastructure in [[GNU_Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]] is already there,
+`linux/src/drivers/block/ide.c (ide_ioctl) <BLKRRPART>` and
+`linux/src/drivers/scsi/sd_ioctl.c (sd_ioctl) <BLKRRPART>`, but the IOCTL needs
+to be routed from `libparted` through [[glibc]]'s Hurd IOCTL interface, through
+Hurd's [[hurd/libstore]], to [[GNU_Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]].
+
+This is not a huge project, and actually one that is suitable for someone who
+wants to start with hacking the system.
