It shouldn’t be an issue as /run/setuid-programs is populated with
symlinks for backward compatibility.
AIUI, we can still use good’ol setuid programs on the Hurd until a
better solution is found, so we should be fine (meaning
“make check-system TESTS=childhurd” should pass).
We could emit a deprecation warning when someone uses the
‘setuid-programs’ field of <operating-system>. Not a blocker though.
Tobias, ready to push? :-)
Cheers,
Ludo’.
