You'll break programs that expect GNU options. grep -A, for example.

Thanks for explaining the difference. I guessed I had made a couple of
too simplistic assumptions.
On the other hand, would it be feasible to use a mix of native Plan9
on Glendix and Plan9port (static)binaries in the default /bin as
primary utilities and the regular GNU stuff in some sort of "APE"
directory? (something not recommended by the plan9port guys, but on
the other hand that is on a "normal" GNU/Linux distribution, whereas
this hypothetical glendix distribution -as far as I see- more would be
about proof-of-concept where the plan9port portion could be gradually
reduced as Glendix gets more and more native Plan9 binaries to execute
correctly).

Wmii does not create a draw device. It uses 9p for control, more like
the FS rio or acme post.
You could implement draw on top of X11, or even the Linux
framebuffer.

I was looking around a bit and the Suckless.org Sta.li (http://
sta.li/) distribution that is in the works seems to be a pretty good
fit for a glendix-type distro, since it already tries to Plan9-
like in
some ways (initiation scripts, static linking). Something built on
that (perhaps with a Gobo-hide patch to make a Plan9-like file
hierarchy) could be cool.
After reading through the different projects at Suckless, I came
across that wmii actually has a 9P interface (http://
wmii.suckless.org/). Sorry for my ignorance, but would it
(theoretically) be possible to "complement" the things that do not
yet
work natively under Linux with Glendix-patches using Plan9port+wmii
+P9
mount of wmii to /dev/draw? If the lack of /dev/draw is a temporary
"blocker bug" for some Plan9 stuff to work under Glendix, perhaps
that
could be a temporary solution?
I suppose the bigger "blocker bug" is the private namespaces stuff.
I have no clear idea how the different Plan9 binaries are
interdependent and whether something like that would work.

Hi, I'm interested in contributing to the project for creation of a
distro based on Glendix and Gentoo. I have acquainted myself with
Glendix, and also have a lot of experience with Gentoo. Can you
please
provide me with some pointers about where to start ?
