Russ has been most accommodating with changes in the Go tree. As far
as go portability to Plan 9 is concerned, that's not a problem (except
the few actual problems that need fixing, but that's just code). The
issue is polluting the go tree with yet another build framework which
is 1) not really necessary, 2) about to be taken out anyway and 3)
possible to devise programatically. Russ has said privately (jokingly)
that he'd accept mkfiles if each one said "|<$GOROOT/mkmk.rc Makefile"
and, knowing what we know now, it's not impossible to do.
rminnich-9go's mkfiles for the go package library were mostly created
with such a script.

more important issues exist than just how to build go (which boils
down to "pick any of the 3 current methods and go for it") -- for
example, in order to complete running the full test suite one needs to
solve a signal handling bug in the plan9-specific code of the go
runtime.
