It's USER_MIG that is missing. For some reason, on i386, gnumach's configure
doesn't set it. Once you do:
make USER_MIG=mig tests/test-task.iso
the ISO builds and runs just fine.
On x86_64 it is detected as:
USER_MIG='x86_64-gnu-mig'
so probably something to do with how the built mig is installed from source.
You can also test by installing mig from the Debian repository instead of
building it from source.
Below[2] are all the steps I went through on a clean hurd-i386 image[1] in
case it is of some help to you.
Regards,
Diego
