Here is an email that was send in the bug-hurd archives recently that
talked about how to build the Hurd on GNU/Linux. Hopefully this will
help others to update our Hurd packages:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2023-01/msg00132.html
Here are some scripts that automate this process:
https://github.com/flavioc/cross-hurd
The hurd was a wiki page for this as well (probably outdated):
https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/toolchain/cross-gnu/
Also for those of you who don't know, the Hurd is getting a ton of
developer attention right now. Work in progress includes SMP work, 64
bit kernel (with 32 bit address space), some re-using netBSD's driver's
work, etc. Now's a great time get subscribed to the Hurd's mail
