libguytools is mostly straight-forward C code, except for some lines in backtrace handler (see below). I'm not sure if you could encounter little problems with header files (surely nothing serious), I don't have experience with hurd and kfreebsd. >> Looking at the description, it seems to support stack backtracking >> which is arch dependent, and I assume it currently only supports >> amd64 and i386.

Stack backtracking: Have a look at function ToolSignalBacktraceHandler in toolsignal.cpp. I already made it architecture independant but I never tried it on architectures like sparc, for instance. However, I have an old PowerBook G4 at my disposal where succesfully build libguytools and guymager powerpc packages. Just add "powerpc" to the list of architectures in debian/control. Adding other architectures: The function ToolSignalBacktraceHandler should normally be the only one that needs to be adapted.
