they are essentially the same and periodically identical
(up to u.h/libc.h vs lib9.h.  it's time for them to be resynchronised.
the powerpc and arm/thumb compilers tend to be more up to date
in the Inferno tree, and x86 and cc are more up to date in the plan9 tree, although the differences
across all the non-arm architecture are fairly minor.
(we've made many changes to arm for thumb support.)
cc has a few more extensions in plan 9.
8c/8l in plan 9 now has a bug that the inferno ones lack,
introduced by recent changes, and we've fixed a tiny
nasty bug in 5l, but i'll sort it out by an every-way
merge and send the changes back.

[4~They are not the PLan 9 compilers, but similar.
They are part of the distribution to enable you to build
native Inferno for the various target architectures.
