A replacement would be useless on GNU/Linux, but harmless.
Adding a phase (conditional on (hurd-target?)) to glibc
calling 'patch' on these patches would be possible, but would
cause a world-rebuild for GNU/Hurd (though not for GNU/Linux).

Because i586-gnu is ‘experimental and under development’
(according to (guix)GNU Distribution), I suppose the (partial)
world-rebuild is acceptable here?
