Re: [9fans] Go Plan 9

[Pavel Zholkover <paulzhol@gmail.com>]

The following executables are installed into $GOROOT/bin as Plan 9
a.out binaries when you run make -k install inside src/pkg:
cgo, ebnflint, gofix, gofmt, gotest, gotype, govet, goyacc, hgpatch.
They should be directed somewhere else by setting GOBIN, there is no
need to include them in your PATH, the host's native executables are
already in place after you build Go.

There is a temporary fix to the mmap issue with pkg syscall in my
patch queue, it just moves the mmap staff over to syscall_unix.go.
