Thats's right...last night I tried `hello' and actually came up do
coreutils-final.  On Debian GNU/Hurd I marked 7 tests as XFAIL, on Guix
Hurd thre more tests failed.

The night before that, I found that python-minimal did not build.  It
was kind-of funny: we are not using chrooted builds yet.  The python
build attempts to read "/usr/include/netinet/in.h", which on Debian
it happens to find.

So, I'm hoping to get `hello' built tonight, happy to hear any results
you may get!

Greetings,
jannneke
