Would it be possible to use Cuirass (add a manifest file) for building
Hurd?  As the one for Guile [1].  I do not speak about the package Hurd
or Guile, but follow upstream (some branches, etc.).

I do not know if building Hurd is resource-hungry but that’s could be
cool to Guixify the “development of Hurd“. :-)

I have recently watched the FSODEM 2019 talk: “A roadmap for the Hurd?”
and setting up with Guix some Hurd CI could help the Hurd project and so
whole GNU, no?

Cheers,
simon
