Sendmail 8.12.6 compiles clean. Did that a few days ago.
It is now running on my GNU/Hurd.

I am still having problem tweaking the configuration though.
Somehow it picks up old hostname that I assigned to this GNU/Hurd
machine. I couldn't find where it gets the hostname.
(I tried to configure it with sendmail.cf but it's kludgy.)

I am still confused on how GNU/Hurd store networking information. :)  
ie. IP configuration is stored with passive translator
instead in a file ala /etc/network/interfaces.
Would it be better to have (startup) script that reads
/etc/network/interfaces and then calls pfinet to set the IP?
