Hi,

did some of you work in the past of getting older Firefox on HURD? Since 
it is a mix old old configure and python 2.7 scripts, it is not easy to 
debug.


I tried configuring ArcticFox. I see two errors, the first seems a 
warning, but could lead to the second.

I suppose "gnu0" is not correct?

Do these ring a bell for you?

Thanks,
Riccardo
