A few minor points.

There should be two spaces between the name and email, too. And
the date should be 2013-05-03, as per ISO 8601. (One may want
to check the respective Wikipedia article here.) As in, e. g.:
$ date -uI
2013-05-03
$
Also, I'd urge you to use the ârealâ full name -- the same as
you'd use when filing a GSoC application, or copyright
assignment papers (as required by FSF), etc.

â There should be no space before â:â;
â the sentence should begin with a capital letter, and end with
a period;
â s/GUN/GNU/.
Besides, I'm having trouble understanding the intended meaning
of this sentence. Shouldn't it be, say, as follows instead?
* configure.ac: Ensure MIG is available when building for
GNU Hurd.

The same applies here. Also, there should be an empty line
between the ChangeLog entries.

Note that â{}â are superfluous here; case "$host" will do the
same, but is a tiny bit shorter.

I guess that both cases should use the same indentation level â
either 4 spaces or 8 (or a TAB.) Check the rest of the GDB .ac
code for the currently preferred style.
Also, it's possible to avoid an indentation in the first case
altogether, like:
+ *-linux*|*-k*bsd-gnu*) ;;
Again, look at the rest of the GDB code and use a matching
style.
