As Okuji said, you will miss a lot of (read: all) hardware support.
You don't want to do this.

We put the linux code in the GNU Mach source tree and overwrite certain
parts of it with special files. There is also glue code. This is not
documented but in the source. Have fun. Note that this is only true for
block device and network card drivers currently. Character devices should be
worked on.
