What OS config did you try to cross-build?
It’s possible to cross-build minimal GNU/Hurd images, such as the one
used in the childhurd test in (gnu tests virtualization), or like the
gnu/system/examples/bare-hurd.tmpl example.
Cross-building GNU/Hurd images is probably the easiest way to get
started with GNU/Hurd hacking at this point. I’m Cc’ing Janneke who has
more experience and maybe tips and tricks to share. :-)

Yes, we could disable util-linux tests for i586-gnu with a FIXME
pointing to this discussion, to help further progress. I’ll do that if
there are no objections.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
