Re: configure.in broken.
Since actually fixing TLS for the Hurd once and for all needs a serial
console--which I don't have, I have given up the attempt to fix it.
Also since the code is totally untested (noone has tested the code
that Roland checked in since 2002 or so), it would also be a pain in
the ass to force people to actually use it right now. Instead I
supply a patch that disables TLS support for the Hurd.
The patch that is applied, is a hack. To my knowledge there is no
easier way to disable TLS support only for GNU/Hurd. And one needs to
know the host which one is building for, so it _must_ be done after
AC_CANONICAL_HOST. In short, this is the cleanest way todo it. :(
