+Subject: [PATCH] libstdc++: Mark pieces of gnu-linux/os_support.h
+ linux-specific
+
+This is notably needed because in glibc 2.34, the move of pthread functions
+into libc.so happened for Linux only, not GNU/Hurd.
+
+The pthread_self() function can also always be used fine as it is on
+GNU/Hurd.
+
+libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
+
+	* config/os/gnu-linux/os_defines.h [!__linux__]
+	(_GLIBCXX_NATIVE_THREAD_ID, _GLIBCXX_GTHREAD_USE_WEAK): Do not define.
