Thank you for the patches.  Since nobody has commented on them anymore,
I've pushed them.  If it breaks Mac OS X, then PLEASE someone, speak up,
otherwise I'll just assume this works fine.

I've (again, GRR!) updated distribution/manifest to add the new Makefile,
and NEWS to mention the platform support.  Could you update the platform
wiki pages with the relevant info as well?

Please keep us posted.  I wouldn't want to release 4.9.0 with broken
make check on Hurd.  In case it really can't be supported, I'd prefer
to disable the test for now on Hurd, like we did with AIX.

Cheers,
Peter
