OK, I think I got it. These belong on the Plan 9 platform where it is
easy to
bind -a .../bin/plan9 /bin
to access them. Thanks for clarifying this for me: as I have
nentioned more than once, getting my mind around all the permutations
of toolchains, tools, platforms, architectures and targets isn't easy.

fixed :-)
