Ok, I'll move it to pager_start_workers then.

Cool.

Ok, I'll add a check for EPERM before printing the error.
Now I have a few issues building GLIBC.
1. I added the following checks to sysdeps/mach/configure.ac
mach_RPC_CHECK(gnumach.defs, vm_set_size_limit,
HAVE_MACH_VM_SET_SIZE_LIMIT)
mach_RPC_CHECK(gnumach.defs, vm_get_size_limit,
HAVE_MACH_VM_GET_SIZE_LIMIT)
However, I don't know how to generate the corresponding configure file.
2. After make install the system was broken, every command show Killed in
the command line. Below are the last few lines of make:
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/demo/dev/hurd/upstream/glibc/elf'
/usr/bin/install -c /home/demo/dev/hurd/upstream/glibc-build/elf/ld.so
/lib/ld-x86-64.so.1.new
mv -f /lib/ld-x86-64.so.1.new /lib/ld-x86-64.so.1

Do I need to apply some patch/es to the sourceware repository for Hurd?
Thanks,
Diego
