We will try to use APE.

We would like to convince some people that Plan9 (kernel) is a useful
alternative to Linux without asking them to rewrite all their
applications. Like it or not, most people won't consider spending man-

Especially if there is not much hype surrounding the alternative :)

As Ron mentioned the immediate objectives are running MPQC and some
HPC benchmarks.

The GNU apps won't be part of the standard Plan9 distribution, so you
can continue to ignore them :)
