ELIBBAD is Linux-specific, Hurd has EGRATUITOUS instead.

I don't see a build failure because of this?

Maybe we can pick another shared error code?

Related question: Would it be possible to add ELIBEXEC to Hurd some day?

Thanks,
Florian

The build failure happens during make check, not during make.

Yep, sure, I'm just not sure what should be used.

That should be easy to implement, yes. We can already just enable its
definition in glibc, and we'll be able to implement it in Hurd's exec
server.

Huh.  For me, it does not.

We can use an arbitrary constant such as -1009.

Thanks,

Maybe I was not precise enough: the build failure happens on GNU/Hurd
systems only, where make check can actually not only build but also run
programs.

Ok, done so!

Now done so.
