A side note on this, which predates this patch series: there no other
‘system-’ predicate; I think it may have been clearer to use
(target-hurd?) or (and (not (%current-target-system)) (target-hurd?)) or
similar, as is done for other platforms.

On a single line please.  :-)

(I wonder why it’s failing; is it a problem of precision on 32-bit
platforms, or just on i586?)
