I'd like to push the following, to get the Hurd port functional again.
In the thread around
<http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3C200810110047.39807.pedro%40codesourcery.com%3E>,
and
<http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3C200810131935.35253.pedro%40codesourcery.com%3E>,
we had already (very) briefly been discussing gnu-nat's local
pending_execs handling.
Is the new approach that I'm posting below (flag instead of counting;
saves us from repeating in gnu_create_inferior the increment in the
startup_with_shell case) OK until we get a clear understanding if and how
we can get rid of it for good? Or should indeed the current value of
fork-child.c:startup_inferior's pending_execs be made available, say by
moving that variable into inferior.h:struct inferior, and using that in
gnu-nat.c instead of gnu-nat.c:struct inf's local pending_execs
"replica"? (But apparently there are no other users of this.)

Hurd: Adjust to startup-with-shell changes.
In commit 98882a26513e25b2161b41dfd4bed97b59b2c01a, STARTUP_WITH_SHELL was made
a runtime toggle, startup-with-shell. The Hurd code not adjusted, which had a
value hard-coded instead of using START_INFERIOR_TRAPS_EXPECTED. Fix that, and
also simplify gnu-nat's pending_execs handling from counting to just a flag.
gdb/
* gnu-nat.c (struct inf): Change pending_execs member to a 1-bit
flag. Adjust all users; in particular...
(gnu_wait): ..., don't decrement its value in here...
(gnu_create_inferior): ..., and instead set the flag in here,
around the startup_inferior call, and call that one with
START_INFERIOR_TRAPS_EXPECTED.
