I see now that there is plan9/arm in tip = (1.7), but not 1.6.

I tried a bootstrapped version on my RPi but it fails with a = "fork/exec ... virtual memory allocation failed=E2=80=9D error when I = try to compile anything. According to stats I have plenty of memory left = when it runs. I=E2=80=99m not sure what to make of it. Any idea if the = port is complete or if there are additional commits in = progress?

For = linux/s390x you can run it fairly easily (if slowly) in a Hercules = emulator on Linux/Mac. I believe that there is at least one tutorial out = there that I have successfully followed to get it working.

I usually keep one environment in sync with the latest = sources and try out the new features that affect me the most, but I = don't think there's anything special about that.

Next to try on Plan 9: build a = linux/s390x binary and find a machine to run it on :)

in Plan 9 on an arm machine is news to most Plan 9 users?

Perhaps even news to those who regularly use go on Plan 9.
