If I understand correctly, you overwrote your linux ld.so with a
gnu/hurd ld.so, and maybe libc and other things. You could try,
if you have a system available to do this on, extracting ld.so and
libc from the appropriate debs, putting them on a floppy or someplace,
rebooting linux with your rescue disk, and copying those files back into
your linux installation. If you can restore enough of your overwritten
files this way to boot linux and run dpkg and so forth, then you can look
at auditing your system and reinstalling anything else you stepped on.
Look in the gnu tar.gz file to see what may have been stepped on.
Good luck!
