Hello, good news. After I found an old specs file from Gordon that I could patch with Marks diff I was ready to compile the hurd-19981204. I will upload it tonight (I am currently doing a rebuild, because I needed to do some changes). Installation instructions will follow.
Thanks to everyone who helped me sorting this out. This is a comprehensive list of all fixes necessary: * additional links for shared libs (Gordon already did incorporate them) * additional header file directories rpc and sunrpc (I needed to copy them from CVS) * a new option to the cross compilation wrapper (or SEARCH_DIR line in libc.so linker script) -Wl,-rpath-link=/usr/i386-gnu/lib * a new linker script for cross compiler, libc.so, so it finds the libraries. I think that was all. I have a booting hurd system again now. This means the fun is starting *now*. Thank you, Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
