A long while ago I bookmarked this build failure of picolisp on Debian
hurd-i386:

 https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=picolisp
 
and it looks like an OS-independent issue, and seems to be trivially fixable,
according to:

 https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/porting/guidelines.html 
 - under "Undefined bits/confname.h macros (PIPE_BUF, ...)"

(albeit requiring context-dependent ifdefs). Since I saw the issue I haven't
had time to setup a Hurd build environment to actually write and test a
patch. Rather than putting it off for another year, or writing a "best guess"
patch and opening it as a bug-with-patch on the Debian BTS, I figured it is
simpler and faster to post about it here - so if anyone else finds the time,
and if the fix really is that simple, it can help all users more quickly.
