     @bugaevc yeah! It took me quite a while to figure out a nice way to use gcc-14 for the Hurd while keeping the default (currently at gcc-11), avoiding a world rebuild (and probably worse, many subsequent package breakages that would need to be addressed).

     It also took some time to figure out why my cross-built executables kept segfaulting, in the end just some tags were missing from upstream (and I hadn't carefully looked at which versions #debian was using).

     Also, even the 20240825 debian image does not boot with qemu-8.2.2 for me.

     Very thankful for all the kind help that I got, again!

     @mpjgregoire @bugaevc Thanks!

     Well, first the installer support for Hurd needs to be merged (<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/73927>), then this needs to be merged and then there's going to be a blog post.

     The obvious next step is a 64bit childhurd service and setting up 64bit chidlhurds on the build farm.

     Then, I'm hoping for the awesome Hurd hackers to produce a working rumpnet, and get Hurd to boot on something newer than the X60 (<https://todon.nl/@janneke/110451493405777898>).

     Wonderful! What are you planning to do next, if I may ask?
