Subject: [9fans] Win32 console apps from plan9?

Anyone ported one of the open-source x86 compilers
to plan9. I know GCC works natively and thus, in theroy
I could port the x86/win32 back backend but that would
be non-trivial. I wonder if LCC would be easier?

Initially all I need is very dull console I/O, reading and
writing files etc.

I muttered about re-targeting 8c a couple of years ago
but forsyth pointed out the calling convention is so
different that a complete shim around the win32 api,
or a serious rework of 8c would be required.
