Thanks Diego, I managed to build it by splitting out lpfs get_hw_addr to
a separate function. (and of course fixing the PATH_MAX stuff)

I will integrate your patch with my changed to a create proper patch.
There is a need for a dhclient-script.hurd.udeb, which is a stripped
down version of dhclient-script.hurd. Samuel, can you create this file?

Furthermore, the built packages are not functionally tested yet. This
has to be done too, before we can say that isc-dchp-4.1.x is available.
