Mmm, actually it is most probably a problem with chrooted hurd builds.
In chroots local sockets don't work properly, one currently has to
use the unchrooted path. We usually work around it by making /tmp
bind-mounted into the chroot, so that the chrooted path works unchrooted
too. A workaround for clamd would be to put the local socket somewhere
in /tmp instead of inside the build tree. The buildd could also have its
unchrooted /build bind-mounted inside chroots as /build, so that the
local socket path would work.
