Hi!

So...updating mig using git-fetch created a circular dependency because
mig-boot0 re-used mig's source, and we cannot use git in commencement.

This patch series now uses a hack by Ludo (thanks!) as suggested on IRC
<https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2023-07-17.log#233051> to not directly use
generated cgit tarballs from savannah.

The versions of gnumach-headers-boot0, mig-boot0, and hurd-headers-boot0 are
updated so that native builds work again.  Because upstream does not produce
release tarballs we now also need autoconf and automake in commencement.

Note that building natively won't get very far, as for many packages (guile,
coreutils, grep, findutils, diffutils, gettext-minimal, m4, openssl, python,
...) the `check' phase will fail.  See the `hurd-team' branch for updates on
this.

Now that mig-boot0 uses its own source definition, we can safely re-apply the
mig update.

Greetings,
Janneke

I sent minor suggestions, but overall LGTM!

As of 4e11cac6be68a674c16965dc74e7da54cd3168df, we have
cross-compilation to i586-pc-gnu working again.  After this series, we
should still have that + ‘-s i586-gnu’ (native compilation) working
(modulo test failures fixed by <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64711>, of
course).  I haven’t checked whether this is the case but that’s the
idea, right?  :-)

Thanks again for this!

Ludo’.

That's right, someone beat me to it ;-) (thanks!!)
