I experienced socket troubles with certain socket options were not
supported under the Hurd. I know Roland made some updates for this,
so perhaps these problems are just a bad memory now...
Plus, the architecture issue...
Once the msync hack is added, apt will compile but give it a try.
You may see the same problems I did. Good luck :-)
