You'd better used a cross compiler and just `make' instead of compiling
things by hand.

If you have a Hurd partition mountable from GNU/Linux, creating a cross
compiler should be as easy as building cross-binutils
(e.g. binutils-2.16.1 or binutils-2_16-branch)

#v+
$ ./configure --prefix=somewhere --target=i586-pc-gnu
$ make
$ make install
#v-

... and cross-gcc (e.g. gcc-4_0-branch)

#v+
$ ./configure --target=i586-pc-gnu --enable-languages=c --prefix=somewhere 
--with-sysroot=where_you_mounted_the_Hurd
$ make
$ make install
#v-

Then just add somewhere/bin to $PATH and configure MIG with
`--prefix=somewhere --target=i586-pc-gnu' and you should be done.

You can the cross compile other programs specifying `--host=i586-pc-gnu'.
