Ok, good to know. So we need another project. Here is another: this is a very old bug report on Burp (a backup tool) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=747672 Burp has not build on Hurd for a very long time, but the latest build logs are showing a build failure for a common well known reason https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=burp You can read about the problem at https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/faq/foo_max/ https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/hurd/porting/guidelines/#PATH_MAX_tt_MAX_PATH_tt_MAXPATHL You can try to patch Burp to fix that build error, and then proceed to investigate if there are other issues or if you manage to get to build the package.
