GNUmach is the 'kernel' that handles interaction between software and
the low-level devices and functionality of your computer. The Hurd
sits on top of GNUmach.
The Hurd is the set of services available to a user or application
programmer. You need both pieces.

You need to cross-compile GNUmach. If you have a debian GNU/Linux
system, you can install the cross compiling utilities to do so.
Then you must type: "./configure --build=i586-pc --host=i386-gnu"
so that 'configure' will know to use the cross-compiler tools.
