Ok, thanks for the tip. I got it last night and except for having to comment out a portion of the makefile to regenerate configure with autoconf, it worked smoothly and the new kernel booted just fine. This was building under hurd and not linux, so I was happy about that :) > > But you don't need a cross compiler at all for gnumach, if you have gcc for > any i386 target. > So, just to make sure I've got this right, I can build all of gnumach and hurd under my linux system (gentoo using gcc 3.2) and then install to my hurd partition without any problems? I was under the assumption that all the cross compiler talk was due to different binary object formats, but after a bit of thought I came to the realization that gnumach/hurd simply uses elf files so there shouldn't be any difference as long as the build files are setup right. Am I wrong thinking this? burton
