Hi Evan,

The macro is not set in the chicken-config.h file.

I think the easiest way to test would probably to start with a
pre-installed virtual image.

Instruction from https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install:

You can also get a pre-installed image and run it in qemu:


$ wget 
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/current-hurd-i386/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz
$ tar xzf debian-hurd.img.tar.gz
$ kvm -m 1G -drive file=$(echo debian-hurd*.img),cache=writeback

I'll try to look into why it's not writing the macro definition into the
generated chicken-config.h file.
