hugs building on the hurd fails as shown at

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=hugs98&ver=98.200109-5&arch=hurd-i386&stamp=1022202037&file=log&as=raw

I haven't tried the latest source from CVS, but
http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/hugs98/src/machdep.c?rev=1.87&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
looks like it has the same problem.

Based on
http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2002/debian-hurd-200211/msg00085.html
it looks like you have to support arbitrarily large paths, which should
hopefully be easily solved with a malloc/free here and there.


Thanks
Ian
