Some weeks after Neal Walfield implemented POSIX semaphores for libpthread, Marcus Brinkmann has now implemented SysV shared memory for the GNU Hurd in glibc, based on some earlier work done by Neal. This was probably the last commonly used POSIX feature missing in the Hurd, and having shared memory available will make several programs work much better.

Wondering when (if ever) it's really gonna be usable. I mean, ok, 10 or 11 years ago PC's were were not as widespread as today. Not as much different hardware to cope with as you have today. Hardware support will be a pain as it is with most other OSses. Linux is doing fine in that area, at least it's the only OS (next to that other one) which has a wide range of hardware support.
