That has my vote.
actually, I think I was thinking this too. gcc would be its own world
right down to the system call level. No ?a or ?l compatibility issues;
you don't use them. Convert gcc calling conventions to plan 9 calling
conventions at the kernel interface (I had to do stuff like this for Xen
...)
So, if gcc is driving gas and gld, then the only issue is generating
plan 9 a.out format. libbfd can be taught to do this.
