Hi glibc folks,

we received the appended bug report - and it's not the first time that
a sentence like:
 "The following three file name translation flags exist only in the GNU system."

caused confusion.  The glibc manual means here really the Hurd.  I'd
like to change this and other occurences of "GNU system" to a phrase
which doesn't cause os much confusion and bug reports.

Hurd developers, what's a good and significant phrase?  Should I call
it "GNU/Hurd system" like RMS coined the "GNU/Linux system"?

Andreas
