We'll keep it out of master until after 0.8.3 if you don’t mind.

The comment should be more specific: it should make it clear that
libcilkrts is not ported to GNU/Hurd (“causes the build to fail” sounds
like “something went wrong but we didn’t bother”, which is not the case
here!).

Ideally we’d disable it for GNU/Hurd targets only, but OTOH, I think we
can safely assume that nobody will notice that Cilk support is missing...
