Totally agree :). I also don't know why the Hurd defines `BSD` and then 
doesn't implement BSD interface. In the case of BPF, you can get some 
further info here:

https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/open_issues/bpf/

It was considered to implement BSD interface via BPF translator and 
finally discarded. IMO implement BSD interface would be optimal in order 
to get max compatibility with existing packages, specially if we are 
defining `BSD`. dhcpcd is an example of package that wouldn't have 
failed to build on the Hurd in that scenario. But that's not something 
we can change easily at this point.

> I still don't have a Hurd VM yet - it doesn't work at all on my Macbook Neo via QEMU (emulating x86_64) and while I do get some progress on my NetBSD host it can't find any disks to install to. Likely Hurd lacks virtio foo and I need to update my qemu start script to accomodate. Someone also recommended using i386 rather than x86_64.

I haven't tested on MAC. But what's the particular error you see? Feel 
free to write me, I can share with you my exact configuration, maybe it 
can help.
