Ah, I've meant bootstrap as in servers bootstrap, bootstrapfs, all that. Getting Hurd proper to run on x86_64 *is* the most interesting thing right now, which is why I'm doing it :) I see [0] -- is that it? Cool! [0]: https://salsa.debian.org/glibc-team/glibc/-/commits/hurd-amd64 How does this work -- how does the Debian tooling know what 'hurd-amd64' means? Is the full list of Debian package architectures defined somewhere? Are you doing anything else other than glibc as well? I guess it should be possible to cross-build just about anything that does not depend on hurd-libs. How is this meant to be used -- will I be able to point apt somewhere (where?) and just download the built package(s)? Sergey
