Nobody is working on it. Few people ever got it running, and by now there are also problems building with recent toolchains. Instead, the Hurd developers now concentrate on completely different microkernels (Coyotos being the current favourite), as well as on improving the original GNU Mach 1.x codebase. (See also [[GNUMachRevivalProject]].) -The [[OskitMachStatusList]] tells what is required before GNUmach 2.0 (a.k.a. OSKit-Mach) goes mainstream. Status of the new console/term is on that page.
