Yes, I understand this, I just think that setting up a proper cross-compilation
environment is even more frustrating, BUT: If you only want to cross
compile gnumach and Hurd, that's not too hard, because both cross-compile
cleanly even if your cross compilation setup is not 100% proper. Just make
sure you install the header files (libc0.2-dev, gnumach-dev, hurd-dev) on
the Hurd partition, mount it under /gnu andmake links:
/usr/i386-gnu/lib -> /gnu/lib
/usr/i386-gnu/include -> /gnu/include

Mmh. If you get it working, let us know how with the current sources.
The proper solution would be to write the missing parts of the serial device
support, though. (this will also fix the terminal frustration).
Thanks,
