You are still not telling me which command you used to build the package. dpkg-buildpackage -B "-mMarcus Brinkmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" works fine and sets the make variables correctly for the hurd. > On my machine it warns me that 'i386 is not in the remapping table' > (for whatever that means) and then says i386. dpkg --print-architecture never made any sense to anyone.

You can buy a faster machine :) You could implement profiling for the Hurd in glibc, and then we can profile the Hurd and make optimization decisions. > Are there any tools like top, ps, and stuff for the HURD? There is ps provided by the Hurd package. There are several more tools, check it (dpkg -L hurd) notably vmstat and alike. A top tool is not available. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
