 Builds of libuv on kFreeBSD and the Hurd have been failing:

Just to track the status of this:

* 0.10.17-1 is now in sid. This is latest upstream stable release, and
  I consider the package ready for use.

* kfreebsd port is done (thanks to kapouer for the initial patch) at
  
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/libuv/0.10.17-1/kfreebsd_port.diff
  Patch not yet upstreamed, a bit more of polishing needed.

* kfreebsd-amd64 builds fine and passes all tests. -i386 builds fine but
  fails in a test with an impossible return value from pthread_create().
  I couldn't reproduce this under gdb in the porterbox.
  This probably means something race-y and a related issues in eglibc,
  I'll ask some helps from porters.

* hurd port is not done. rust, nodejs and julia (main libuv clients)
  won't build there, so I've put this at low priority.
  I won't be working on this, but I'll be happy to help, test and
  integrate any contributed patches.
  libev/libevent (main libuv competitors) are available on hurd, so
  maybe upstream is interested in this for the sake of portability.

Ciao, Luca

That's fair, particularly considering that the Hurd hasn't qualified as
a release architecture.  Thanks for looking into kFreeBSD support, and
for remaining open to patches for Hurd support!
