usage and breakage of dl-sbrk and dl-brk

Subject: usage and breakage of dl-sbrk and dl-brk

The files dl-brk and dl-sbrk break on GNU/Hurd because brk() uses
HURD_CRITICAL_BEGIN which causes that signal code to get linked in,
something you don't want in ld.so. I don't see any usage of those 2
files, I removed them from the Makefile and that builds and works for
both GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux. Should those files just be removed or is
there something planned which makes those files needed?
