The error looked similar, yet I found the offending part to be some kind of type mismatch which got loose because on amd64 and x86 the types involved were little different in size. setting CC='gcc32' solved the problem and I've got nice, statically linked drawterm 32bit binary. Which doesn't change the fact that I still cannot get Plan 9 to work on my kvm-qemu. A very old ISO couldn't create windows in rio and the new one freezes during boot from disk. The old one works perfectly except for rio. And as for future roadmap... I rather see plan 9's features incorporated into other OS'es, using libs and specially crafted namespaces to support "legacy" apps. -- Paul Lasek
