8c is for Plan9's C dialect.
Look into /sys/doc/ape.ps

I'am trying (again) to build svn for plan9 native.

8c is blowing up with the error:

        bad in naddr: NAME cache_init_state

the offending like is:

  static volatile svn_atomic_t cache_init_state = 0;

Is this legal c code, static and volatile?

if it is anyone any ideas how to fix 8c - compilers are a closed book to me.
