Don't.  Compile hurd natively.

Useful for compiling gnumach but hurd builds fine natively.  Since you're
using Debian packages, get the hurd sources into some directory, then

        dpkg-source -x hurd*.dsc                #  extract sources
        cd hurd*
        dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us               #  build without signing

And it'll build debs for you.  You'll need dpkg-dev and maybe some
friends installed which you should probably already have.

If you have to restart because of some runaway translators (reported
on debian-hurd list), add the -nc flag to dpkg-buildpackage to avoid
starting from scratch.

HTH,
Steve
