This should be set by AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. Maybe there is an autoconf bug on hurd?

This is really strange. This should only depend on the architecture and not on the system type (i.e. assembler instructions that require a 486 and are not present on a 386). IIRC, disabling this hurts performance for threaded applications big time.

There is also the possiblilty to ignore only some tests, if you give me a list. Or run all tests, but ignore the result.
If you don't have time to look into these issues, I am also OK to apply your workarounds for now.
