GNU Mach doesn't link to libraries (that's only a very small lie, actually).
I am not sure what your problem is. Get gnumach from CVS and compile your
own one, but make sure you have all drivers you need.

Look at how debian/rules configures the Hurd, look at the configure target.
Ignore all --build and --host options which are for cross compiling.

Mmmh. Maybe you should really configure the Hurd proper and try again.

I think you have all you need. Maybe get dpkg-hurd-dev and do:
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -B
to produce the debs.
