I've successfully done that using Alfred's cross-compiling guide.

To prepare GNU Mach's sources, I used the up-to-date patches from
Debian's gnumach_20050501-2.diff.gz:
debian/patches/00_autoconf_update.patch (this one is a bit more up-to-date
than the one that is stored in Savannah),
debian/patches/11_nic_update.patch and
debian/patches/12_sis900.patch.
Before the first patch can be applied, i386/linux/Drivers.in has to be
renamed to i386/linux/configure.ac.
Then I "autoreconf"igured GNU Mach.


I only had tiny problems while doing the bootstrap, but they were not at
all related to the auto* update discussed here.

Using binutils-2_16-branch and glibc-HEAD I also had to apply tiny
patches to
binutils: <URL:http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=960>,
and
glibc: the attached sysdeps_mach_i386_syscall.S.patch and
<URL:http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=966>
(Roland, could you please have a look a that one?).


Perhaps the nic_update and sis900 patches could get applied, too?
