I've got a patch for scsh 0.6.4 at
http://www-stud.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/~voegelas/scsh-gnu.html.  With
this patch scsh can be built on the GNU Hurd but there's a problem:

Functions like s48_raise_os_error() try to store errno values in
fixnums.  Unfortunately, the errno values returned by Mach are too big
for fixnums.
