On my machine it warns me that 'i386 is not in the remapping table' (for whatever that means) and then says i386. I fixed that by passing DEB_HOST_ARCH (or something like that) as environment/make variable. As a result I have (unsigned :-/) packages of the latest binutils around, which installed without a complaint and looked fine in my later compilation attempt of gcc. (What a beast! Next time I try a full compile I will have to 'time'.) On the gcc compile (also attemting to build the package), it choked in libobjc, missing gc.h and the like. I think I figured out that one needs libgc, which seems not to be ported. I will try disabling ObjC GC on the next HURD reboot. As usual, some questions: I noticed the HURD beeing much slower on the builds. I have a machine with > 160MB RAM and a K6-3 400MHz (if that's of any concern). And have added >= 200MB swapspace. Can I do something about it? Are there any tools like top, ps, and stuff for the HURD?
