Hello Brett,

Brett Gilio <brettg@posteo.net> skribis:

To put it differently, the Hurd cannot be built natively on GNU/Linux.
You can cross-build the Hurd from GNU/Linux with something like:

  guix build hurd --target=i586-pc-gnu

… though I seem to remember even that is broken in current master.
