... that are set up to use the Mach/Hurd includes. I've used the gcc-i386-gnu package to cross compile gnumach (and I think even hurd?) on Linux. It works fine once you've found out the proper --build and --target values to pass to configure. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> dpkg -s gcc-i386-gnu Package: gcc-i386-gnu Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: devel Installed-Size: 24 Maintainer: Santiago Vila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: make-cross Version: 1.7-1 Depends: gcc (>= 2.7.2.3), binutils Recommends: g++ (>= 2.90.29-0.6) Description: Cheap cross-compiler for GNU/Hurd. This is a "cheap" cross-compiler based on the existing gcc and g++ from Debian 2.0, ready to do cross-compilation for the GNU/Hurd. The only change is the specs file. Everything else are symlinks and wrappers. Daniel.
