It's almost always better to get a binary distribution if you're just
starting out. The Hurd has enough little complexities that adding
cross-compiling (not a simple excersize for ANY Platform) is never a good
place to start when you have an alternative.
That said, if you're set on doing this, take a look at some
cross-compiling instructions that I have posted at
http://hurd.zugzug.com/ There is an error somewhere in there that
prevents me from successfully cross-compiling serverboot. Also note that
you should cross-compile the Hurd with egcs. Roland has been working on
making pfinet cross-compile with gcc, but the lst time I tried the latest
pfinet, I had to recover from a different OS... =(

Acquire the latest libc from CVS or debian sources. There have been some
pretty major updates.
