     <youpi> btw, I believe our fakeroot-hurd is close to working actually
     <youpi> it's just a argv[0] issue supposed to be fixed by exec_file_name
       but apparently not fixed in that case, for some reason

+    < teythoon> also I looked into the fakeroot issue, aiui the problem is that
+      scripts are not handled correctly, right?
+    < teythoon> the exec server fails to locate the scripts file name, and so
+      it hands the file_t to the interpreter process and passes /dev/fds/3 as
+      script name
+    < teythoon> afaics that breaks e.g. python
+    < youpi> yes
+    < youpi> pinotree's exec_file_name is supposed to fix that, but for some
+      reason it doesn't work here
+    < pinotree> it was pochu's, not mine
+    < youpi> ah, right
+    < teythoon> ah I see, I was wondering about that
+    < pochu> it was working for a long time, wasn't it?
+    < pochu> and only stopped working recently
+    < youpi> did it completely stop?
+    < youpi> I have indeed seen odd issues
+    < youpi> I haven't actually  checked whether it has completely stopped
+      working
+    < youpi> probably worth looking there first
+    < pinotree> gtk+3.0 fails, but other stuff like glib2.0 and gtester-using
+      stuff works
+    < teythoon> huh? I created tests like "#!/bin/sh\necho $0" and that says
+      /dev/fd..., and a python script doing the same doesn't even run, so how
+      can it work for a package build?
+    < youpi> it works for me in plain bash
+    < youpi> #!/bin/sh
+    < youpi> echo $0
+    < youpi> € $PWD/test.sh
+    < youpi> /home/samy/test.sh
+    < teythoon> it does !?
+    < youpi> yes
+    < youpi> not in fakeroot-hurd however, as we said
+    < teythoon> well, obviously it works when not being run under
+      fakeroot-hurd, yes
+    < youpi> ok, so we weren't talking about the same thing
+    < youpi> a mere shell script doesn't work in fakeroot-hurd indeed
+    < youpi> that's why we still use fakeroot-sysv
+    < teythoon> right
+    < youpi> err, -tcp
