What OS config did you try to cross-build? It’s possible to cross-build minimal GNU/Hurd images, such as the one used in the childhurd test in (gnu tests virtualization), or like the gnu/system/examples/bare-hurd.tmpl example. Cross-building GNU/Hurd images is probably the easiest way to get started with GNU/Hurd hacking at this point. I’m Cc’ing Janneke who has more experience and maybe tips and tricks to share. :-) > Maybe the tests should be disabled on the Hurd on now, in order > to be able to fix the underlying issues more easily? Yes, we could disable util-linux tests for i586-gnu with a FIXME pointing to this discussion, to help further progress. I’ll do that if there are no objections. Thanks, Ludo’.
