+        IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2012-04-27:
+
+            <Steap> Does anyone have any idea why int main(void) { return
+              chflags(); } will compile with gcc but not with g++ ? It says
+              that "chflags" was not declared in this scope.
+            <Steap> I get the same error on FreeBSD, but including sys/stat.h
+              makes it work
+            <Steap> Can't find a solution on Hurd though :/
+            <youpi> the Hurd doesn't have chflags
+            <youpi> apparently linux neither
+            <youpi> what does it do?
+            <Steap> change flags :)
+            <Steap> Are you sure the Hurd does not have chflags ? Because gcc
+              does not complain
+            <youpi> there is no chflags function in /usr/include
+            <youpi> but what flags does it change?
+            <Steap> According to the FreeBSD manpage, it can set flags such as
+              UF_NODUMP, UF_IMMUTABLE etc.
+            <youpi> Hum, there is actually a chflags() definition
+            <youpi> but no declaration
+            <youpi> so actually chflags is supported, but the declaration was
+              forgotten
+            <youpi> probably because since linux doens't have it, it has never
+              been a problem up to now
+            <youpi> so I'd say ignore the error for now, we'll add the
+              declaration
