Jeff, I am still interested in hacking on SMP support for OSKit-Mach, but I have been busy and otherwise occupied for quite a while. I run a Tyan Thunder 100 Pro with dual Pentium II 450's right now. I haven't made the big Hurd update yet.
I have a massive development network including the SMP box, an hppa C200, and two Corel Netwinders. I am really wanting to become a bonafide Debian developer but I need a sponsor. I went to Debconf2 at Toronto and got my key signed by several other developers. Would perhaps sponsor me and I will start seriously hacking away at OSKit-Mach again?
I have already built an Arm -> X86 GDB serial cross debugger so I can use my Netwinder to debug a running OSKit-Mach kernel and it works nice.
I'd be happy to help out but I really think you should upgrade me to a real developer. I've been using Debian since 1992! ( I kid you not - I was running 0.97 on my 386! )
- Doug

Thanks to Marcus for testing my new Oskit-mach package.
These are available as:

Note that while I don't recommend the regular gnumach package for day to day use, the gnumach-dev will be what I use for building glibc so that the headers for the I/O permission bitmap modification calls (needed for the console client in oskit-mach)
FWIW, The underlying oskit was compiled with gcc-3.1. Success reports are more than welcome. =)
Tks, Jeff Bailey
