I just realized that my pipe2 removal probably breaks the NaCl port.
Can we remove it? It blocks useful cleanups which are compatible with
the out-of-tree Hurd port.
I don't think anyone has ever reported test results for release builds.
scripts/build-many-glibcs.py lacks support for it, so we don't even know
if it still builds.
I hope this proposal is not too controversial.
Thanks,
Florian
