There is a cross gcc Debian package, which is quite easy to use. Thank
Santiago for that. Name: gcc-i386-gnu, version 1.3-1.
Rafael, there are gnumach and hurd Debian packages on the ftp site, how
about using them instead rolling your own versions?

Gordon, I didn't knew that! We should coordinate our efforts, I've access to
libc CVS and wanted to start on the Debian package, too :) (Note that I have
made the glibc2 2.0.4 package, so we can work from that).
Please mail me about this.
