Is it enough fixing coreutils? The comment in /etc/hurd/rc indicate
that e2fsck also need a rebuild, and the fact that the code was there
make me believe that tools on hurd are going to expect /var/run/mtab
instead of /etc/mtab. /var/run/mtab and /run/mtab is in my opinion is
a better location for the file, so starting from scratch I would have
wanted Linux to keep it there too. :)
