Be made aware that -- while it is possible, of course -- this is not trivial to do. You'll have to patch several of the source packages. See the corresponding Debian source packages about which Hurd-specific patches exist and are not yet in the upstream source packages. Not all of the patches from the Debian packages are needed for getting a functional tool chain, but I can't make a list at the moment. > 1.

Instead, read the first paragraph of <http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/hurd/INSTALL-cross?root=hurd> and refer to the shell script mentioned in there. > 4.

See the shell script mentioned above. It contains a number of comments, but may also be not completely up-to-date anymore. So, please report back. Regards, Thomas
