I haven't tried getting kaffe from CVS yet, i have a patch to the 1.0.5 version at http://alcor.concordia.ca/~i_khavki/kaffe.diff . I tried to post a message about that sooner but I had problems posting to the debian-hurd list. Plus I haven't had time to do more work on Kaffe since I'm back at school this week. However, I also tried compiling jikes and jikespg packages for the Hurd. jikespg compiled without problems and jikes needed a patch which has already been merged with the upstream source (Marcus, you can add those packages to the binaries archive). As for using unix-pthreads, again I haven't tried that but I don't think the Hurd's glibc includes thread support since Linuxthreads is linux specific. I'll still try to work out a patch for the CVS version of Kaffe and try compiling it with unix-pthreads. Igor
