Yes, there is i386-gnu-gcc, but this is only part of the story. Of course,
it is a funcrional compiler, but depends on a certain version of egcs.
Better get the i386-gnu-gcc source and build your own version of the
package.
However, even better to ditch this ol' stinking Windows partition that is
STILL laying around and install the Hurd :) Fresh packages uploaded today.
Native building of packages IS possible now.
Note that setting up a cross compiler directly involves installing Hurd
header files and libraries, which means you should doa hurd partition
anyway.

Well, libtool is binary all, so no work needed here. It is already up to
date automatically. gdk/imlib will need X devel files, right? So we have to
work on X first. Will be attacked soon. ace also needs xlib6 I see. Mmmh.
I think we have to start a discussion about X soon. X should not be a big
problem, but the input device hardware support bothers me.

Mmmmh. Difficult question. Everone who does cross compile has a working env,
and we don't really need it anymore (only for glibc and hurd itself).

Excellent :) The Hurd pages will be completely replaced (they are sooo out
of date). But i have to get cvs write access to the web pages.
Unfortunately, the person in charge seems to be away currently.
