What's needed to get things building for i586-gnu (the hurd) post core-updates?

[Christopher Baines]

Hey!

I've been watching the substitute availability numbers recover after the
core-updates merge, but one system where there hasn't been any movement
is i586-gnu. Prior to the merge there were some things building at least
(17% substitute availability [1]), but now no packages seem to build.

I've fixed the #<gexp ... in builder script problem for gcc-cross-boot0,
but then I've got a bit stuck on what the remaining issues are.

I think the use of coreutils-boot0 in the source for gcc-boot0 is a
problematic change introduced in core-updates [2], at least
coreutils-boot0 fails to build.

I've also seen a few test failures in early derivations, I think
findutils-boot0 is among them [3].

You can ask the data service what the blocking builds are for the hurd
[4], which currently reports coreutils-boot0 (which I think is being
pulled in for the gcc-cross-boot0 source as I describe above), and
findutils-boot0 which has the test failures.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris
