You can just do "MIG=i386-gnu-mig ./configure". Documentation how to build
oskit-mach is at http://www.etherhogz.org/doc/oskit-mach.html.

If you use the debian oskit package you have to use the version from
unstable (0.97.20010214-4). If you build the oskit yourself, you have to
use the patches which are described in the document I mentioned above.
