wrong OS name detection for GNU variants

Hi!

The OS name detection for variants of GNU (with a triplet of the form
*-kernel-gnu) is broken because the rule "*-gnu*" matches all them and forces
it to be "GNU/Hurd". For example, a GNU/KFreeBSD system will be matched and be
identified as "GNU/Hurd".

This patch fixes the problem by simply removing the specific test case for
GNU/Hurd. That case is not needed since in the GNU system uname already
returns the canonical OS name and not the kernel name like on GNU/Linux.
