cross compilation problems

[Daniel E . Baumann]

I attempted to compile the HURD from CVS by doing the follwing:

CC=i386-gnu-gcc LD=i386-gnu-ld ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu 
--host=i386-gnu --prefix=/gnu

and I get linking errors:

/usr/i386-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libc.so.6, needed by
/usr/i386-gnu/lib/libutil.so, may conflict with libc.so.0.2
/lib/libc.so.6(.text+0x78c94): multiple definition of `chown@GLIBC_2.0'
/usr/i386-gnu/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `chown@GLIBC_2.0' changed from
139 to 41 in /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6(.text+0x32270): multiple
definition of `fdopen@GLIBC_2.0' /usr/i386-gnu/bin/ld: Warning: size of
symbol `fdopen@GLIBC_2.0' changed from 364 to 338 in /lib/libc.so.6
/lib/libc.so.6(.rodata+0x58e0): multiple definition of `_sys_nerr@GLIBC_2.0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [getty] Error 1 make[1]:
Leaving directory `/home/baumannd/hurd/daemons' make: *** [daemons] Error 2  
              
it's trying to link with libc6 from Linux, which I
don't want it to do so what do I do? What is the proper way to cross compile?
I have the HURD partition mounted as /gnu under Linux and I have the
gcc-i386-gnu and mig-i386-gnu packages installed under Linux (Debian of
course :) ).
