If, lets say, crosstool-NG could produce an GCC-alike (not necessarily GCC itself, but supporting the same command line interfaces) cross-toolchain for native Plan9 and p9p, that would be a *big* help. Perhaps even extend the autohell to support it. On the other hand, we could also port plan9's make to GNU natively. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
