AFAICT it should be possible to build inferno using 9base's mk. In fact I think 9base is better suited for this purpose than Plan 9 from Userspace (plan9port), which was where I suggested we should get mk from, since it is much smaller. I can not tell from the source if it will be necessary to extract mk, so I will try to build inferno using 9base's mk as soon as you send in your patch and get back to you should I encounter any problems caused by one of the other commands provided by 9base. Thanks! Diego
