I expect this will not be too hard to locate. There +are some more trivial bugs, but the release will not be held up for +them. + +Forty-three packages of GNU software have been built native. +Remaining to be built are three packages for which new releases are +expected soon. + +Also remaining to be built native are bash, gdb, mach, the Hurd +itself, and the internet utilities and daemons.
