Check out the idiot's guide, under the ``make devices, and more
configuration'' section: http://pick.sel.cam.ac.uk/~mcv21/hurd.html.

That's also explained in the guide.

Because the Hurd's glibc ABI is not yet compatible with Linux's, and
developed independently. If/when it becomes compatible, we will
change the soname to libc.so.6, but until then, we want to avoid the
messes that would be caused by using the same soname for incompatible
libraries.

No problem...
