I got this assertion today while running 'fakeroot debian/rules
binary-arch' for some package:

make: intr-msg.c:387: _hurd_intr_rpc_mach_msg: Assertion
        `m->header.msgh_id == msgid + 100' failed.
/bin/sh: line 1: 23919 Aborted /usr/bin/make $local_target

Not that I would know to make anything out of it. This is not
reproducible of course, running 'fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch'
multiple times typically resulted in some rather unspecific errors like
"make[3]: stat:.deps/strlist.Po: (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID"
besides the one quoted above. One out of half a dozen attempts even lead
to some .debs.
