I haven't yet gotten X11 to work... to that extent I am wondering if the information on the official Hurd page listed at Uchiyama's site (under Software) which points to a text document "INSTALL-cross" is still accurate. Both the site and document have creation/last-update times back in 1998. I've downloaded all (or most of) the development tools off of the debian site and installed them but I don't know if that's the way to go or if doing the cross-compiles are better... Thanks! --Eric.
