I'm sorry but neither of you or I are in the position to request changes of
already existing file names e.g. replacing linux with glibc in:
os/pipe_linux.go
crypto/x509/root_linux.go
syscall/errstr_linux.go

Neither are we in the position to request to rename libcall_posix.go to
something else, or move the four functions definitions mount, mlocall,
munlockall, madvise, mentioned above to a separate file.

So far, nobody, upstream or debian-gcc, have made any comment on the patches
whatsoever. So what are we doing? Let's forget about porting gccgo to GNU/Hurd.

Thanks!
