You still didn't address that in your reply.

If there is really an issue in GNU/Hurd, such as a missing header, then
yes, I'd prefer that the build fails[1], rather than add a workaround
(with whatever consequences) to this package (which someone would have
to remember to remove at the appropriate time, to restore the intended
functionality).

As it happens, if a workaround for the current FTBFS is all that's
needed, the attached diff would be able to do that very cleanly.

[1] Just to make sure this isn't the cause of any confusion:  FTBFS on
GNU/Hurd is not a blocker for Wheezy, testing migration or transitions.
