I've been thinking, besides my now very dated efforts to port the Go toolchain to Plan 9 native, that there may be merit in an intermediate port of the C and Go toolchains to p9p. But combining the build environments looked pretty complicated. I did try, but I got lost trying to keep the three build environments (Linux, Plan 9 and p9p) in my head at the same time. Still, there may be somebody out there who can get this done better than I would. ++L
