In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
-GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[34567]86-*-gnu. The current
+GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.
