* Add a tool to trace system calls, by using gnumach's Syscall-Emulation, see <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/gnumach-doc/Syscall-Emulation.html>
* Improve our [[FUSE library|hurd/libfuse]].
* Fix our [[open_issues/symlink_translator]].
-* Add a /dev/rtc device
+* Add a /dev/rtc device. We can probably just create a userland trivfs-based translator `/hurd/rtc`, by taking devnode as an example, removing the `console_*` parts, and adding instead a `pioctl` part, by adding a `pioctl.defs` file (similar to the existing `rioctl.defs`) to document the expected ioctls, and implement the corresponding RPCs.
* Add gnumach support for EFI memory areas report through GetMemoryMap instead of the BIOS E820.
* Implement `SA_NOCLDWAIT`. It means adding an RPC to proc to implement it, and then making glibc detect when setting `SIG_IGN` on `SIGCLD`, or setting the `SA_NOCLDWAIT` flag, and in that case call into `proc`, similarly to the `S_proc_mod_stopchild` RPC. proc's `S_proc_wait` shall then wait for all children and return `ECHILD`.
* Implement `lsof`. One can get inspiration from `libshouldbeinlibc/portinfo.c` for the details.
