Found a LANG setting for AIX in src/callproc.c but that did not help for Hurd. > Yes, but building from the GNU source has the file GNU defined, and > compile succeeds for that tarball.

I can now get a stable freeze by writing a to a logfile during the build. Then the freeze happens even before dumping of emacs: dpkg-buildpackage -b > ../build_x.log 2>&1 & and after the first freeze (otherwise the compile never continues without writing to a log file) dpkg-buildpackage -b -nc >> ../build_x.log 2>&1 & I saw the page http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/open_issues/emacs.html by Thomas, being able to give commands in the Mach console, but for me the freeze is totally locking up kvm/hurd/mach.
