Re: [9fans] GNU binutils: you can't make this shit up

[Eirik Johnson <falmarian@yahoo.com>]

There is something to be said for microkernels
they allow for a lot less headaches with kernel
development, and it could drastically improve plan 9's
portability, a key feature.
Also, the multi-server approach taken by the GNU/Hurd
is innovative and well suited to SMP and distributed
environments.  However, the FSF has a role and the GNU
project is (and should be) a side project for them. 
The real problem with it, though, is that C (like plan
9) was designed with portability as a major feature,
and the GNU extensions in GCC aren't helping
portability.  It's kinda like microsoft's C#, they may
be wonderful features, but you missed the whole point.
