Cross-compilation to GNU/Hurd broken on core-updates

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Manolis and all!

On ‘core-updates’, the cross-compiler for i586-pc-gnu fails to build:

  https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2099030

The relevant part is:

I’m not sure if anything changed in this area compared to ‘master’.

Ideas?
