Hello,

Rene <address@hidden> skribis:

I think /hurd is hard to avoid; it’s akin to /bin/sh, which is also
hard-coded in libc (for the ‘system’ function).  As you found out, you’d
need to change macros in libc headers, which means that libc could only
talk to a specific instance of the Hurd servers.  Furthermore, /hurd
needs to be writable.

So I would recommend keeping /hurd, at least as a first approach.

Happy hacking!
