Many thanks for your offer! As far as I'm aware indeed nobody from the Hurd team has spent time on that yet. > - if the branch has sources that build for Hurd, I should have some chance > of using > https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/incubator.git/tree/cross-gnu?h=cross-gnu/master > > to figure out how to do the Hurd-specific pieces that will need adding to > build-many-glibcs.py). Beware that this script is from many years ago -- from times before my dear CodeSourcery colleagues taught be how to ;-) properly build cross-compilers. But yes, cross-gnu did work back then. Another thing to look into nowadays is David's (CCed) gnuxc, <87r3vaw4os.fsf@gmail.com">http://mid.mail-archive.com/87r3vaw4os.fsf@gmail.com> "Scripts to build a Hurd distro", <https://github.com/dm0-/gnuxc> "GNU OS Cross-Compiler". (I have not yet looked into that one myself.) And, the Guix/Hurd effort also is capable of cross-compilation, as far as I remember. But probably cross-gnu/gnuxc will already give you enough pointers of what needs to be done. Grüße Thomas
