So that I can compile (or cross-compile) applications on the host PC,
and test them with Hurd on Qemu?

I want to be able to compile, build applications for Hurd. I don't
have a system to play with.

Is there any other way I can accomplish this?

I realized it after I posted the message. I tried gcc-3.4 with gnumach
from cvs (rather than gnumach-1-branch), and it stopped at:

=== BEGIN OUTPUT ===

+ /home/foo/projects/hurd/working/build/src/gnumach/configure
--host=i586-pc-gnu --prefix=
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used
...
...
checking for oskit version >= 19991121... no, too old!
configure: error: version in <oskit/version.h> less than required 19991121
make: *** [build] Error 1

=== END ===

Probably need to try an older version from cvs.

Thanks,

SK
