Hi! I'm pleased to announce a mostly-working version of the GNU Hurd Hacker's Kit. I was able to spend some time in testing, and now it at least boots.
You can get it from: <URL:http://www.fig.org/software/hurd/ghhk.html> I took advantage of `strip -x' and the fact that Linux native compilers generate ELF code that works on the Hurd to get the kit down to 4MB in size (as compared with gnu-0.2, which is 71MB). However, there are some problems in the runtime environment which cause general flakiness. So, the current GHHK is a convenient cross-compilation environment, and not much more. Rather than fixing the old sources, I will be spending time on getting glibc-2.1 and more recent Hurd snapshots to work. As per Grant Bowman's suggestion, I will also be renaming the packages to be `i386-gnu-*', to reflect that they are not Pentium-specific.
