The reason is simple: I have lots of interest in Plan 9, but the code
bases for the apps all need GCC/G++. This is a huge barrier.
I want to understand but don't, what features of GCC are
required?
all of them :-)
all that pragma junk -- align, packed, etc. This is in the source, not
the -fwhatever stuff.
ldscript stuff.
It's a long and depressing list.
This infers that APEs libc is enough for these apps. Is it just
__attribute__() stuff, or the last ½% efficency?
I just don't want to go APE long term. It's more a question of taste though.
