You can request access to a porterbox pretty easily, but that's only really
going to help with the FTBFS part, not with testing DHCP functionality for
real as that requires root which is not available on porterboxes AFAIK.

I'm not very familiar with the hurd port myself, but a quick search found
some pre-prepared QEMU/KVM images for hurd (with docs!) here:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/12.0/hurd-i386/README those should
be easy enough to use.

I don't think this is a good use of your time (or your sponsors'!). The
cyle time is just too long, please consider developing in a VM and
uploading once you get it working.

You should likely submit your porting changes upstream for review before
even integrating them into Debian though as I expect they'll be substantial
as they amount to supporting a new OS.

I'm following the dhcpcd project so I'll likely review your PR(s) anyway.

Thanks,
