Okay, so the shlibdeps info in the gdb binary is not correct. I will soon
update gdb and make sure it is okay (yes, mark, I know I wanted to do this a
few days earlier :)

You will want hurd-dev anyway, so it's not a loss :)

I will try to take a look at apt myself. The architecture stuff is something
I am particulary concerned with, and this should be done right... I wonder
how apt determines the installation architecture.

Use swap. Use even more swap. That helps alot.
