I don't actually see the problem with having some of these tests failing -
no Hurd special cases in this script - unless and until we decide that a
particular Hurd special case in this script is appropriate. That was how
we handled many architecture-specific fixes for header problems shown by
these tests for GNU/Linux (some of these tests failed on some
architectures for some time); I think it's how we should handle them for
Hurd. When individual headers are fixed, the number of failures may go
down.
