Thank you, now it builds (it doesn't work when installed, but this is not an 
issue for what I want to try).

These are new features which were added to GNU Mach after the 2013
release.  To get them you need at least a newer glibc in addition to the
newer gnumach.

Since I want to be able to build the head version, I downloaded the 2015 Debian 
distribution and rebuilt everything (except for mig, but I don’t think this is 
the issue). I strictly followed the instructions at 
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/microkernel/mach/gnumach/building.html and 
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/building.html, in their non-Debian 
variant, plus make install of gnumach. It still fails, but now while linking 
the proc server:

…
make -C proc all
…
mgt.o: In function `S_mach_notify_new_task’:
/root/hurd/build/proc/../../proc/mgt.c:1081: undefined reference to 
`mach_notify_new_task’
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Can I suppose that I need a newer glibc? If yes, which of the many branches 
should I check out?

That’s an issue with the current Hurd repo on Savannah. You need this patch 
http://darnassus.sceen.net/gitweb/teythoon/packaging/hurd.git/blob/HEAD:/debian/patches/proc-task-notify-0005-proc-fix-build.patch,
 from what I gather (at least it fixes it for me).

Hello,

These are new features which were added to GNU Mach after the 2013
release.  To get them you need at least a newer glibc in addition to the
newer gnumach.  You can either:

- upgrade to sid to get the latest packages

- or just hack with the debian hurd sources of the release you are
using, which don't make use of these features.  The Hurd codebase hasn't
changed too much, so work you do there can probably be easily ported to
the current master.

(Newbie question) Failed building hurd on Debian GNU Hurd

[Braione Pietro]

Hello to everyone. As from the title, I am a complete newbie. It is the first 
time I am trying to build hurd from sources (but I have successfully built 
gnumach and mig many times). My platform is Debian GNU Hurd (should be the 2013 
version). I followed the INSTALL file in the hurd source tree and tried with:

cd mig
git pull
./configure PREFIX=/usr/local && make && make install #(debian puts mig in 
/usr/local, not in default /usr)
cd ../gnumach
git pull
./configure && make && make install && cp gnumach.gz /boot/gnumach-1.4-486.gz
reboot
cd hurd
git pull
autoconf && ./configure && make

but it fails (after a lot of time) when compiling the auth server:

…
make -C auth all
make [1]: Entering directory ‘root/hurd/auth’
…
gcc 
-Wl,-rpath-link:.:../libps/:../libtrivfs/:../libftpconn/:../libports/:../libcons/:../libhurdbugaddr/:../libiohelp/:../libdiskfs/:../libpipe/:../libpager/:../libstore/:../libhash/:../libshouldbeinlibc/:../libfshelp/:../libnetfs/:../libthreads/

What am I missing?
