[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

While building a childhurd for core-packages-team I noticed that gnumach is currently build with the i686-linux toolchain rather than the i586-pc-gnu cross toolchain with a comment that a cross-built mach has issues. As I wanted to avoid bootstrapping a second toolchain I tried a to cross-build one and found no issues.

I then tried this is also on master with both i586-pc-gnu and x86_64-pc-gnu and have not noticed something (yet?) that indicates that mach is broken, the system boots and I was able to talk to the guix-daemon.

I marked the target as a [hurd-team] branch in case there is need for some more testing.

Okay, that makes sense.  It also makes for the removal of a quirk, so
that's nice.

Good.

It works for me, so apparently a long standing cross build problem has
been fixed.

Pushed to master as 8f852885de485098812450711e81c1f446d3acb6

Greetings,
