... that are set up to use the Mach/Hurd includes. I've used the
gcc-i386-gnu package to cross compile gnumach (and I think even hurd?) on
Linux. It works fine once you've found out the proper --build and --target
values to pass to configure.

Description: Cheap cross-compiler for GNU/Hurd.
This is a "cheap" cross-compiler based on the existing gcc and g++
from Debian 2.0, ready to do cross-compilation for the GNU/Hurd. The
only change is the specs file. Everything else are symlinks and wrappers.
Daniel.
