Hello Guix'y supporters of the Hurd,
This is a follow-up to a discussion on guix-devel
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-03/msg00081.html to
keep track of merging recent work for the Hurd by Efraim and others
that started on the Guix Days @fosdem20
https://gitlab.com/Efraim/guix @wip-hurd-bootstrap
The `wip-hurd' branch @savannah has now been reset* and now contains a
set of patches that allow for Hurd development, either by building
packages natively or by cross-building.
Most interesting here are the hurd bootstrap binaries and patches to get
through "commencement". Efraim built a first set of bootstrap binaries
but I found we at least need some minimal set of glibc patches
glibc-hurd-clock_t_centiseconds.patch
glibc-hurd-clock_gettime_monotonic.patch
glibc-hurd-signal-sa-siginfo.patch
which I added and so I built a new set. While this mostly works, we may
want to look at/include more patches from the Debian glibc delta
https://salsa.debian.org/glibc-team/glibc/-/tree/glibc-2.31/debian/patches/hurd-i386
...but how to choose?
This patch series may be especially interesting as I have been also
using a number of hacks to get to build `hello' natively, avoiding
failing/hanging tests here and there
HACK gnu: acl: Add patches for the Hurd, disable tests.
HACK gnu: gettext-minimal: Expect test-raise test to fail on the Hurd.
HACK gnu: check: Skip hanging tests on the Hurd.
HACK gnu: guile: Disable tests on Hurd.
HACK gnu: coreutils: Disable tests on Hurd.
I haven't re-evaluated the need for these yet after my last glibc
patches and I haven't included these on the wip-hurd branch; these live
on wip-hurd-system on my gitlab
https://gitlab.com/janneke/guix @wip-hurd-system
That's also where my scratchbook on the Hurd lives
https://gitlab.com/janneke/guix/-/blob/wip-hurd-system/THE-HURD
As discussed on guix-devel, we need to build gnumach-headers and
hurd-headers from a tarball release. Initially I tried the latest
official releases but they are too old. So I have created unofficial
source tarballs for Gnumach and Hurd tarball by running `make dist' on
the a git checkout on the Debian Hurd and uploaded them here
http://lilypond.org/janneke/hurd
wip-hurd is branched off core-updates about two weeks ago; I will now
start with rebasing and re-evaluating on latest core-updates.
Greetings,
janneke
*) Everything from Manolis' old wip-hurd since been merged or ported to
the new wip-hurd.

3a1c3642d4d611c5516a8ba5b6bc7e39bdc1c9ae
As discussed on IRC yesterday, we did it in two stages: we first
merged all work necessary to build sensible bootstrap binaries
to core-updates:
3342a1182b15ec031f0ec6f602fd96c1dca3d4b0
then we build bootstrap binaries and verified the result, producing
this commit message
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
On 3342a1182b15ec031f0ec6f602fd96c1dca3d4b0
gnu: make-bootstrap: Use _IOLBF on Guile 2.0 only.
Run
./pre-inst-env guix build --target=i586-pc-gnu bootstrap-tarballs --verbosity=1
Producing
/gnu/store/lhca65c997pvic5cfrpm0dasniwqlg2a-bootstrap-tarballs-0
With guix hash -rx /gnu/store/lhca65c997pvic5cfrpm0dasniwqlg2a-bootstrap-tarballs-0
07jnq2by98f2a45k8wd2gj62iazvwfa4z7p3w3id4m1g0fdsvc3b
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Next up is to work towards getting a bootable guix image for the Hurd
and other porting work in the Debian VM.
See:
https://gitlab.com/janneke/guix/-/blob/wip-hurd-system/THE-HURD
but that's a whole other stage of effort, I'm tempted to close this bug
and open a new one (or two?) for that. WYDT?
Greetings,
janneke

There's bootstrap binaries now existing, I'd say that counts as merging
in Hurd support.
Congrats!

Yeah, probably use one bug for each focused issue. It’s easier to
follow & review, and also more rewarding because you get to close issues
more often. :-)
