Re: [9fans] Plan 9 on mmuless systems.

On the case :) Last night before I went to bed I was trying to cross  
compile for an ARM using Inferno hosted on OSX. The endianness of my  
binaries seems to be reversed using 5a. Any idea what would cause  
this? Also, if you try to put in ROM headers in 5a using WORD how do  
you avoid 5a optimizing away your data(it's unreachable). Put in  
another TEXT?
