Vita Nuova will be making available the portable version of the plan 9 compiler suites, and mk
and a few other supporting tools that compile native Inferno on all platforms,
for more general use, separately from Inferno.
also included is the set of libraries used to support a limited plan 9 environment
sufficient to compile the compilers, mk and the others.

producing binaries, even statically linked, for other operating systems is trickier than
it once was (in my experience), though not impossible.  i have enough trouble working out
what ELF is on each platform that uses it to generate bootable binaries.
there might have been good intentions, but it is not well done.

Hi Russ

Was just looking at your home page @Harvard. I'm interested in
the 'cross compiling for other operating systems' for various
reasons.

Have you done any work on it so far/ is anyone else working on it ?
