I'm not sure I follow.  The 6c and 6g compilers in the Go distribution
are compiled with the local compiler, such as gcc on Linux and OS X.
I don't believe it's possible they have Plan 9-specific features in
their source.  I can believe they would have problems compiling on
Plan 9, but that's the inverse problem.

Once 6c is built, it is used to build the Go runtime, so the source
and compiler should match perfectly.  Plan 9 compiler issues should
not be relevant.
