This is.

And the problem is not really a compatibility layer between the Hurd
and Linux, but merely that the Hurd uses gcc/binutils/glibc as its main
compiler/linker/libc, and hence must be able to run them.

Re: Maintaining the tool chain

[Gabriel M. Elder]

Pardon the naivety and ignorance of my question, but - given the modular
architectural nature of the hurd, how difficult would it _really_ be to
implement a hurd daemon (terminology?) that would abstract away the
underlying differences between the linux kernel and the hurd, such that
this type of maintainence would be unnecessary or minimal at worst? Is
this not an option for these types of tools, i.e. this is assembly-level
type stuff? Is there already some sort of binary-compatibilty
layer/daemon for the toolchain or any other linux binary executable?
Ideally, there would be nigh-transparent portability and compatibility
between linux and the hurd. Presumably, it'd theoretically be more
efficient to adapt and maintain one thing, rather than several or dozens
of things.

Again, forgive me if this question was totally off-base, or if this idea
has already been hashed out and shot down. I'm good with C, but know
substantially less than you all do about kernel development or the
innards of the gnu toolchain. I'd be interested in trying to help out
with the hurd, but i don't know if i'd have enough time to get up to
speed to the point where i could contribute anything useful. I like the
idea and design of the hurd, but from my perspective, the learning curve
looks pretty steep here.

Subject: Maintaining the tool chain

Hello!

I just added an item to ``The GNU Hurd - People at Savannah: Project
Help
Wanted'', :

#v+
``Maintaining the tool chain''

We seek help in keeping the Hurd-specific parts of the GNU tool chain
(mostly GCC, binutils and glibc) up-to-date in an environment where the
tool chain is being advanced for the Linux kernel, as an example, and
subsequently the Hurd-specific parts would need to be adopted to these
advancements.

Please contact us mailing to  if you are interested in
helping here.
#v-


Thanks to Michael Banck for the suggestion to add such a inquiry.


Regards,
Thomas
