You are my hero, but... where's the code? :)

I have had no end of trouble trying to build p9p or hosted inferno
for my SL-C3200. I was shy of trying for a full OS port which was
stupid of me because all the troubles I've had have been due to Linux
libcs: illegal instructions in glibc and various header and link
issues with uClibc and dietlibc. I was thinking of trying to port
native Inferno - I understand the PXA270 isn't very different to the
PXA250 which Inferno already targets, but I think I'd rather have
Plan 9 on there.
