You can do whatever is easiest for you. You can build and install the oskit native, and then build oskit-mach using your native Linux compiler. That is probably the easiest thing. Or you can build the oskit native and then do "make install prefix=/usr/i386-gnu" (or whatever is appropriate) to install it where it will be found by your Hurd cross-compiler. Or you could cross-build the oskit for the Hurd (the oskit ends up the same either way). It really doesn't matter. > In the meantime, I have been reading the gnumach sources and trying > to get it to build with smp support.

As you've seen, the oskit smp support works with current hardware (like yours), whereas gnumach doesn't even have any extant hardware support code. > I read that Roland was working on writing a book on oskit-mach and Hurd, Well, this is the first I've heard about it.
