If I could have at least those two items thanks to P9GCC, maybe I could convince some of them to work on the plan9 servers I'm slowly setting up there. As for me, I'd be pretty happy if I could have a bittorrent client (especially libtorrent/rtorrent, written in c++) on plan9 so it'd be rather nice if your P9GCC could achieve building that. But yeah, that one relies on auto*, configure, etc.. Mathieu.
