I'm pretty sure the answer to that question is no. As far as I know. In case you don't know: this would allow for debugging programs on GNU/Hurd systems using a cross debugger running on another system (e.g. a non GNU/Hurd one). This is of advantage if you're cross compiling and then don't have to copy the source files to the target system for using gdb locally on there. But it'd be difficult to have access to all the advanced features a native GNU/Hurd GDB offers. It shouldn't be hard to add anything necessary to the remote protocol and if anyone was interested in working on it I'd be glad to offer advice. I'm looking at this just for "fun". Should we add our own hurd-i386-foo files or gnu-i386-foo, or try to shoehorn our stuff into using something like linux-i386-low?

Yes, it seems the problem you have is very likely an incompatibility between the emulated hardware and the GNU Mach kernel. Unfortunately neither me nor someone I know has the hardware and software you have, so I can't have a look myself. > a full featured (multi language) GRUB CD image.
