Re: Compiling Hurd

[giggles]

Thanks for pointing this part of documentation, I also noticed this 
other page https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/hurd/glibc/ which uses 
the glibc/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py to 'generate' the needed 
toolchain, it acts in a similar manner to cross-gnu when building 
i686-gnu compiler. Im learning new things from those scripts. Thanks for 
the tip about using a hurd system itself to avoid crosscompilation, but 
for now I will play a bit more trying to bootstrap the hurd from my 
system. I hope to join hurd development in the future.
