Indeed.

It's Debian who decided (implicitly, by not special-casing the Hurd) that
the Debian python package (for which I asked for help to compile) should be
compiled with threads support.

Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether or not it might be worth to
ask the maintainer to disable threads completely for hurd-i386 until
we know how to fix this, since a python package without threads support
is obviously more useful than not having a python package at all.
