Yes. You can take a look here for my post in user-mode-linux-devel list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=37681841

As you can see, only general guidelines exist.

I tried compiling uml in Hurd and a lot of errors came up (oh what a 
surprise). I "fixed" some but not all. When uml finally compiles, i will 
 investigate the important stuff.

I will continue to work on it but my rythm is a bit slow :).

Happy new year everyone,
