I don't think I need that much Hurd in my day so I'll skip it, but cfarm230 is
a bit of an oddity, MIPS64 but it's:

  Long long size = 64, long size = 32, int size = 32, pointer size = 32.
  char is 8-bit signed, wchar is 32-bit signed, time_t is 32-bit signed.

So 64-bit CPU running 32-bit Linux but with a 32-bit time_t instead of 64-bit.

Perhaps the cfarm page could also list what you're actually getting on the
system since the Arch information is sometimes misleading, perhaps "mips64,
32-bit mode".

Peter.
