   Actually, it was in hurd-dev. (the .so file, the .so.0.2 was in the hurd
   package)

Ah, this makes sense.  But then your gdb must be really old.  I fixed
some nasty bugs in the upstream source.  If everything goes well
gdb-4.18.1 should work a bit better on the Hurd when released.  So, if
you want to do some serious debugging (which we would really, really
appreciate :-)), keep on the lookout for a new gdb.

   I would gladly help if you just point me in the right direction.

Thanks.  It is not yet in a testable, let alone usable state.  My
priority lies with fixing critical Hurd bugs right now.  But when I
have something that can be tested I'll let you known.
