Reorganize the Hurd FAQ in a single place
move all the hurd faq pages to the top-level faq directory; the faq.mdwn index now uses two simples map of all the subpages (one for the debian items, and the other for the non-debian items) TODO: now some of the items would need better titles

+To get [[debugging]] information for glibc, you need to install the
+`libc0.3-dbg` package. At the place [[debugging/GDB]] looks for debugging
+symbols by default (`/usr/lib/debug/lib/`), Debian's `libc0.3-dbg` stores only
+the frame unwind information used for backtracing. If you want to step into
+glibc while debugging, you need to add `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug` to
+debugged program's environment (`set env VAR value` from the GDB command line).
+If that still does not work, try `LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/debug/libc.so.0.3`
+instead.
