sorry. i'm not following at all. are you using ken's compiler?
if not, how do you deal with unnamed structures. if so, don't
you have to do a lot dealing with object file formats?

If I'm reading brucee correctly, he's cross compiling using kencc but
running natively; there's no "native" compiler involved, just a (very
old-school seeming) loader program and his system-call thunks. Clever.

that's right. the only thing that needs a native compiler
is the launcher and Mr Syscall.
9eekern is of course compiled with kencc.

The compiler+library trick is very nice. The run-time portion sounds
very similar to rsc's 9pm; can you summarize the differences?
Primarily i'm interested in how much of a "mental context switch"
you've got between the Plan 9 and Windows worlds.

how do you get the native c compiler to play along with some of ken's ideas?
