Hey ! Thanks for this patch. I recently saw back on the site about the bonding exercise. So, I am planning to get GNU/Hurd on VM if all goes well. One more thing which I wanted to ask was about the C headers ? Would the bindgen tool take care of the headers during the port or we have to do it manually?
