I don't think this is strictly necessary, it would add confusion to our users, which would ask over and over again about this "gnu" thing (is not linux "gnu" also?). BTW: On the ftp archive we have "hurd-i386", not i386-hurd. On the contrary, we may consider the architecture-specification string "i386-gnu" as an historical accident, and we as developers, can live with it. -- "80cae37290ee81b8d5b51bb0663dc5ef" (a truly random sig)
