I did manage to get binutils compiled & installed, minus gprof. Does
anyone know why it would bail on this package? If it's a binutils bug, who
should i contact to make them aware of the problem?

I misinterpreted the function of the "test" program; in any case, I don't
think it should be run on a cross-compile (at least, that's the error it
terminates with). And yeah, build.sh is of course produced by configure,
which never completed... so that explains that too.
It must be my day for stupid mistakes.
In any case, has anyone got make to build? Is there perhaps a binary for
hurd out there somewhere?
