I suppose this is just a case of upstream being overly defensive with their configure script. Could someone running Hurd please give building Gecode (with a disabled OS check) a try and see if it works correctly? If you like, you can test the library after building it by compiling the examples in /usr/share/doc/libgecode-doc/examples and running a few of them, and at least one with "-mode gist".
