hilbert os is a 64-bit hobby operating system, which is not very mature yet. to
build and test it, you will need some software installed. on debian, i believe
running command [1] below as root (e.g. with sudo) is sufficient. the default
makefile target builds a disk image at build/disk.iso that can be booted on a
64-bit bios system. you can use command [2] to build that. finally, use
command [3] to run the disk in qemu with gdb attached.

  [1] apt install g++ gdb git make nasm qemu-system-x86 xorriso
  [2] make -j$(nproc)
  [3] make run

      i patch the output <memory> header file from libstdc++ with
        patches/gcc-memory.patch to include my std::allocator implementation.

      i patch the <stddef.h> header file with patches/minstuki-stddef.patch
        to add a max_align_t type to make libstdc++ happy. i use the commit
        dd3abd2d7147efc4170dff478d3b7730bed14147 so i don't have to worry
        about that file changing in a future commit.
