Sounds like a good plan! I can see really 3 milestones: 1. Getting cross-compilation support to i686-gnu in order with Guix. 2. Getting native compilation on i686-gnu in order. 3. Building a bootable system or VM image. You’re already on your way for item #1. As you noticed, that’s already non-trivial work, for various reasons. > And because I am an eligible student I would like to apply as a GSoC > student working on this. Good. Make sure to apply in google-melange too. I can mentor the project, but I would really like someone from the Hurd side to co-mentor. Any volunteer? (This is essentially already the case in practice, but we could make it official.) Thanks! Ludo’. PS: Please avoid HTML in messages.
