New GHHK is released

[Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@fig.org>]

Hi!

I'm pleased to announce a mostly-working version of the GNU Hurd
Hacker's Kit.  I was able to spend some time in testing, and now it at
least boots.

You can get it from:

<URL:http://www.fig.org/software/hurd/ghhk.html>

I took advantage of `strip -x' and the fact that Linux native
compilers generate ELF code that works on the Hurd to get the kit down
to 4MB in size (as compared with gnu-0.2, which is 71MB).

However, there are some problems in the runtime environment which
cause general flakiness.  So, the current GHHK is a convenient
cross-compilation environment, and not much more.

Rather than fixing the old sources, I will be spending time on getting
glibc-2.1 and more recent Hurd snapshots to work.  As per Grant
Bowman's suggestion, I will also be renaming the packages to be
`i386-gnu-*', to reflect that they are not Pentium-specific.

Have fun,
