In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
-GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current
-GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
-incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.
+GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.
When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
-requires Linux kernel version 2.6.16 or later.
+requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.
Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
