There are also a number of other Debian packages depending on GNAT, and thus not buildable on the Hurd. The goal of this project is getting GNAT fully working in Debian GNU/Hurd. It requires implementing some explicitly system-specific stuff in GNAT, and maybe fixing a few other problems. Good knowledge of Ada is a must; some Hurd knowledge will have to be acquired while working on the project. Possible mentors: Samuel Thibault (youpi), [[Thomas Schwinge (tschwinge)|tschwinge]]. Exercise: Fix one of the problems preventing GNAT from working on the Hurd.
