Excuse me. My idea is to raise this program from Hurd (with "hang" I'm not referring to "crash")

But, how can I run this program automatically in the system boot?
If I run the program as a service (sysvinit service), this can be dependant of the distribution (in this case, Debian), is not?
And this approach doesn't seems very secure.

Are there any other way to "hang" a program of Hurd without create a translator?

"Hurdish" doesn't necessarily mean "overly complex" :)

Telling the kernel how it should behave does not have to be done by a
translator, it can be a mere program as well.
