Hello, Thanks for the email. The thing is I am not cross compiling. I am instead compiling from inside Hurd (in Qemu). Yet cannot seem to get it quite right (even though it compiles successfully inside Hurd, when I copy it to /boot it panics on the next reboot).
Is a cross compiling route recommended instead?
