I haven't heard back in a couple of years, and this bug has been open
since 2017 as well.
I don't see value in keeping this tracked in the BTS. Presumably this
isn't the only Hurd-related FTBFS in the archive either and I don't
think we are trying to maintain a bug for each upstream Hurd porting
issue. I'm therefore going to mark this as "done".
As I think can be inferred from my interactions in this bug :), this
isn't due to lack of willingness on my end to support this. Someone just
needs to do the porting work, and while I gave it a stab, this is beyond
my knowledge and interests.
If at any point yourself or any other Hurd porter finds some time to
look into it, I'd be happy to help out in any way. Feel free to reopen
this bug or file a new one in that case. MRs etc. are also more than
welcome!
Regards,
Faidon
