Sorry, it was not my intention to stress you you seem to be the only person actively working with GNU/Hurd.

Does this not only give you the source of the latest released version?

Where is the network defined and set up on the Hurd?? I think the problems on the other computer (build box) is related to the filesystem corruption. I'll send my patches as a bug report to Debian in a few days.
