Subject: [bug#77103] [PATCH v1] gnu: glibc/hurd: Hide to prevent warning
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 18:46:28 +0100

When dealing with the glibc package, you will often see the following warning:

warning: ambiguous package specification `glibc'
warning: choosing glibc <at> 2.39 from gnu/packages/base.scm:915:2

This is due to the fact that Hurd glibc is exported. A simple fix is to declare it as a hidden-package.

* gnu/packages/base.scm: (glibc/hurd): Hide
