I keep a NFS mount to parallel dev Linux Solaris Irix including ARM. It
uses m4 as there is no compiler on Sol/Sgi. It was used to create 9p
services and RC on all systems much like macros in assembler.
There isn't much desire to port as most programs should be rethought.
Today's programs are too monolithic and redundant. Break them up like
cat/pipe find overlaps and turn them into modules callable with RC.
