It would be easier to compile using 9vx under Linux, or a virtual plan 9
machine in qemu under Linux.
It is possible to cross-compile directly, but I've only built and used that
environment twice myself
(once for Solaris, once for Linux), and it isn't any longer in any
distributable shape. It might reappear
as a side effect of some work on the compiler suite. It's similar to the
way Inferno's kernel is cross
compiled using the Plan 9 compilers hosted by some other OS, but needs a
few special twists to
deal with the Plan 9 source tree.
