At this stage there=E2=80=99s no libc, so no crt*.o (C run-time initializat=
ion
files.)  Thus the above test cannot be run.

I think we=E2=80=99ll have to cheat by passing --build=3Di686-pc-gnu and re=
moving
--host.  This is actually what I did in Nixpkgs:

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/os-specific/gnu/hurd/de=
fault.nix

Then the =E2=80=98build=E2=80=99 phase must be skipped, and the =E2=80=98in=
stall=E2=80=99 phase must
just do =E2=80=98make install-headers=E2=80=99.

HTH,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
