If you make that fix to Hurd, then the mapping will just work, and
coreutils will start passing the test.

after geteuid().
It might be worth proposing a change to POSIX to require that geteuid()
and friends leave errno unchanged on success (in order to allow for the
GNU extension of setting errno on failure, even though POSIX did not
reserve a specific value for failure); I'll pursue that course.
uid_t is signed, it makes
sense, but on systems where uid_t is unsigned, this will always be false
(and probably trigger a gcc warning), and still fail to catch the
(uid_t)(-1) case that we are trying to diagnose.

POSIX states that this should fail with EPERM, not EISDIR:
$ mkdir d
$ link d c
This was detected by the gnulib testsuite; I've since updated that
testsuite to tolerate Hurd's current behavior, but it might be worth
updating link(2) to comply with the standard.

won't hang but will still expose the bug.
