     <pinotree> hmm...
     <pinotree> apparently enabling MMAP_ANON in mono's libgc copy was a good
       step, let's see

+    <pinotree> youpi: mono is afflicted by the SIGUSR1/2 conflict with libgc
+    <youpi> pinotree: didn't we have a solution for that?
+    <pinotree> well, it works just for one signal
+    <pinotree> the ideal solution would be having a range for RT signals, and
+      make libgc use RTMIN+5/6, like done on most of other OSes
+    <youpi> but we don't have RT signals, do we?
+    <pinotree> right :(

+    <antrik> Wayland should be very portable. all the system dependencies are
+      in the infrastructure, such as DRI
+    <antrik> we have had a DRI task (for X.Org) for years
+    <antrik> (in fact I would be the right person to implement this,
+      considering my background -- by quite frankly, I doubt I'll ever do it)

+    <youlysses> Is wayland something that will be semi-easy to port to the
+      hurd? I saw GNOME is heading in this direction.
+    <pinotree> wayland at the moment is linux only
+    <tschwinge> youlysses: A DRI implementation will be needed.
+    <pinotree> that, and libdrm compiling
+    <youlysses> So it will take some work ... but theres no *HUGE* design
+      decison that would inhibit it?
+    <pinotree> i know it uses epoll, for instance
+    <tschwinge> youlysses: I cannot judge how complex a DRI system is, and how
+      much needs to be designed vs. implemented.
