Hi Skip, There were a few problems with that CL that I'm just now starting to iron out so I extracted out the memmove fix into a separate CL. The patch sets that you'll need to build Go 1.2 on Plan 9 are: cmd/8g: work around 64-bit bug in 8c for Plan 9 https://codereview.appspot.com/14521056 build: do not use the host's libbio on Plan 9 https://codereview.appspot.com/14604047 runtime: do not use memmove in the Plan 9 signal handler https://codereview.appspot.com/34640045 The Go tree is still in a code freeze but I'll have those CLs submitted as soon as it reopens. Also, we have three months (until the Go 1.3 code freeze) to get the Plan 9 port passing all tests on the build dashboard or it will have to move outside the main repository: https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/PortingPolicy If you want to help with this effort, please join the go-plan9 mailing list (https://groups.google.com/d/forum/go-plan9).
