Ah yes thanks, removed.  (I had a number of patches that meant to avoid
triggering rebuilds -- this is a leftover.

I "only" forward ported them, and fixed one; only to find the Debian
glibc git archive just yesterday; so very similar ones are in Debian.

It is unclear to me how that works, some are prefixed local-, others
submitted- or unsubmitted-.  I'll have to ask around.

Worse, I just found what I meant to fix before with

    glibc-hurd-clock_gettime_monotonic.patch

namely

    Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize time
    OSError: [Errno 1073741846] Invalid argument

has somehow regressed...bah!  Combining that with our make v4.1/v4.3
problem, I guess I'll need to dive into these Debian patches some more.

Greetings,
janneke
