Yes, that server (which I don't administer, by the way) was hit by a DOS
attack.  Should be back now.

Would you link to integrate all that stuff into the main Hurd wiki,
<http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/>, instead of beginning to duplicate so
much?

Yes.

I've never been using such an IDE (I assume that Eclipse is an IDE,
right?), but sure, why not.  My IDE is Emacs.

I don't know that project at all.  I know Dan Kegel's crosstool a bit and
once pondered about integrating my cross compiler script into it, but
gave up on that again, as it's very Linux-specific.  The same may be true
for scratchbox, but I don't know.  I decided to use the script simply
as-is.
