If you really want to do that, just go ahead and port the plan 9 c compilers etc. to unix. I did the amd64 linker in about 10 minutes. It's very straightforward C code, far easier to port than the sort of stuff you find in the GNU world -- someone once complained on this list that Plan 9 C code was some sort of "old usage" or something -- they did not realize that was a *virtue*. The ?c would be a bit longer to do but probably not much. Then you can compile all Plan 9 code on Unix-like systems to target Plan 9. That may not be what you meant. ron
