I don't know what the issue is, have not had time to look at it.
Russ posted a recent update to libthread and there are updates to bin/ 9l and src/cmd/auxstats/mkfile that I hope make it in sometime in the near future (only needed for auxstats right now, and I respect Russ' busy schedule).
This actually leads to the question: since Apple's announced the x86 support for Mac OS X, would it be beneficial to modify the mkfile's for the Darwin port to support the MachO multi-binary options by making 9c & 9l deal with the Darwin sources in a similar way as the Plan 9 compiler does? Though MachO supports 'fat' binaries after the linker has handled them, I think it would be better to handle the object files in the same manner as the Plan 9 compiler and save them as .[v851ok0q2t6] only to let the linker squish them together if needed (still allowing for fully separate libraries and executables for each Darwin platform if needed).
Would anyone mind if I made the required changes to 9c, 9l and any supporting mkfiles?
