You are still not telling me which command you used to build the package.
dpkg-buildpackage -B "-mMarcus Brinkmann <brinkmd@debian.org>"
works fine and sets the make variables correctly for the hurd.

dpkg --print-architecture never made any sense to anyone. It's stupid crap.
Don't use it. Run away when you see it :)

This is the correct way to do it. use dpkg-buildpackage for your
convenience.

Yes. Send me your patches that were needed to compile gcc, please.

You can buy a faster machine :) You could implement profiling for the Hurd
in glibc, and then we can profile the Hurd and make optimization decisions.

There is ps provided by the Hurd package. There are several more tools,
check it (dpkg -L hurd) notably vmstat and alike.
A top tool is not available.
