Ok, I'm really really confused. What do you mean? Does the Hurd just
build for you? I see packages in [0] -- how did you build those?

I'm having to patch the Hurd repo *a lot* to get *some of it* building
for x86_64. Just to give you an idea, here's my current diffstat,
compared to 717897ca40be3bb78130617c8e880137eff96d96 (current
origin/master):

...and that's not all of the Hurd building, yet, but crucial
components like ext2fs are.

But you seem to have just built it? How? Is there perhaps an existing
x86_64 port branch somewhere that I have not noticed?
