That’s a sign that the Hurd’s libc should be rebased on top of libc 2.19.

The indentation is wrong (see this file for examples.)

This looks good to me, but unnecessarily complex: get rid of
‘substitute-keyword-arguments’:

  (arguments
    '(#:out-of-source? #t
      #:tests? #f
      #:configure-flags ...
      #:phases (alist-replace ... %standard-phases)))

HTH,
