OK, but that appears to be a problem with the Debian build procedure, 
not with Emacs per se.

OK. Closing the Emacs bug report.

Hi Clement (and the ML),

I just saw your mail to this bug. Unfortunately I did not get that mail. Do I
have to subscribe to get them?

Anyway, you were just lucky. Try to build it a second time, or even better build
the debian package. Latest version now is 2.25.1+1-3. You'll see the same
problems as me (and the hurd build daemons).

Thanks for trying Hurd out.
