I finally got around to do that (after ext2fs had eaten my file system
and I had to completely re-install).

I installed cross compiled (using gcc-4_0-branch) files of glibc's
libraries (glibc-2_3-branch with the gcc-4.0 patches from Debian) and
the Hurd.
The system stayed usable after installing the files, running
/hurd/ext2fs by hand didn't raise a segmentation fault.  I just noticed
that I better should have tried /hurd/ext2fs.static, since on reboot the
box get's stuck with the following:
#v+
[...]
task loaded: (hd0,3)/hurd/ext2fs.static [...]
task loaded: (hd0,3)/lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec

start (hd0,3)/hurd/ext2fs.static: [hangs]
v#-

I'll try to figure out what the problem is.
