That was quick! :)

I asked the admin of strauss.debian.net (hurd porterbox) to install 
the needed build dependencies for firebird2.5 and will try building it 
there.

I seem to remember a Hurd porter said that there would be problems 
with semaphores or something like that, but I can't find it. Anyway, 
we'll see how the build goes on the porterbox. In the worst case php 
would have to omit the firebird dependency/support for Hurd.
