Right, so I gave OpenRC a quick spin. It fails to compile on Hurd, I did some hacky patching, made up some .GNU.x files to make the build system start doing it's job. All went fairly well until it hit src/librc: * Unconditional use of both PATH_MAX and MAXPATHLEN * For some reason BSD is defined and so it expects some headers that are not available on the Hurd * Afaics it assumes kvm to be available, at this point I stopped hacking around the issues. So I think this would need some serious porting by someone who is more familiar with OpenRC or has more time to conditionalize the code using the various features that are not available on the Hurd.
