I can't test profiling because I don't have the profiling libs installed (space and download time constraints). However, an old specs file I found worked fine when I applied Mark's patch. > MB> Gordon, we need some serious changes to our cheap-cross > MB> compilation environment.

Fine! If this is merged with my step by step instructions (you could actually change deb_install I posted to automate this), we can soon have detailed procedures how to bootsrap the Hurd. As soon as we have all details, someone can put this into a big tar file. > You can rest assured knowing that there will be progress in the next > 24 hours.

The problems are not almost as big as they occured to me. It is always the unknown which scares somebody. Thanks, Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
