Neal assigned copyright for his Hurd work, so I think it will be no problem.

Note that, if I understood him correctly, Neal can only get his mail
once a week currently, so please be patient with him.

It sounds like an old bug in libtool 1.3.x versions. I can pull out a patch
for you, or you can ask the libtool people which version will be okay on the
Hurd. I think libtool 1.4 has a fix, if it is released.
The bug is that libtool thinks that the Hurd doesn't support inter
library dependencies, and thus drops them, or even refuses to build
shared libs.

getpagesize() is in <unistd.h>, as in linux.
Mach also has <mach/vm_param.h> for PAGE_SIZE.
