Kinda reminds me of RedHat for the Alpha. Everything compiled
and was distributed. It's just that a lot of things didn't work because
of 64 vs 32 bit not to mention that user address space started
at 0x100000000. The worst hit was the networking code.
I'm sure things are *better* now - certainly the second release
I tried had a different set of non-functioning programs.
dhog's plan9 was a better choice.
