Backport #8937: doesn't detect libc/libm properly on Hurd

this bug can be reproduced in Ruby 1.8 as well

In test/dl/test_base.rb and test/fiddle/helper.rb files, RUBY_PLATFORM's case sets libc_so/libm_so to non-existent file paths on Debian Linux (when /linux/) and kFreeBSD (when /kfreebsd/), but if at [0] takes correct paths from ldd.
On hurd (RUBY_PLATFORM i486-gnu), there are no "when /gnu/" cases so it hits default [1] which wrongly takes them from ARGV.

Attached patch01 takes them from "ldconfig -p" exactly like ldd in [0].
patch02 sets them wrong, just to have a case like on linux and kfreebsd and not to avoid ldd fix later.
patch03 sets correct paths on hurd-i386. Possible future hurd ports, 64bit one for instance, would fall back to ldd output.
patch02 might be the preferred because doesn't diverge from current linux/kfreebsd cases.
