actually, code that uses gcc seems to require massive rewrite just to
accommodate different versions of gcc. This has been a huge problem
for 10 years in coreboot. We just have to deal with it. Just look at
the recent Linux security hole attributed to a gcc optimization ...

Experience shows that the mods needed for plan 9 code for gcc can be
less than the mods needed just to forward port code between different
versions of gcc. It's quite amazing.
