The things to do would be packaging Mach/Hurd/MiG/libc, adjusting cross-base.scm to allow cross-compilation to GNU/Hurd, cross-bootstrapping, adjusting =E2=80=98glibc=E2=80=99 in base.scm, and the= n working towards a GNU VM image (or non VM) based on (gnu system) stuff. I think it=E2=80=99s OK as a GSoC project. Ludo=E2=80=99.
