Hello,

I think /hurd is hard to avoid; it=E2=80=99s akin to /bin/sh, which is also
hard-coded in libc (for the =E2=80=98system=E2=80=99 function).  As you fou=
nd out, you=E2=80=99d
need to change macros in libc headers, which means that libc could only
talk to a specific instance of the Hurd servers.  Furthermore, /hurd
needs to be writable.

So I would recommend keeping /hurd, at least as a first approach.

Happy hacking!
