This is a known problem with 5c. It cannot switch on vlong. As a stopgap, you can

change the types of the things being switched on to integer (type, if I remember right).

After a little work, I have a Plan 9 dev environment setup. My dreamplug boots with no problems, and after installing python and mercurial, I was able to clone the go repo. The build completes fine on 386, but on the dreamplug I get the errors below. Yes, I know I should probably be running as a user other than bootes; this was a quick and dirty install to get things running. Also, opnames.h does exist.

dreamplug# ls -l /usr/bootes/src/go-plan9-arm/src/cmd/gc/opnames.h

Also, it doesn't look like the tests are being run on 386. Forgive my ignorance, but is that currently intentional? I haven't had time to search the list.
