One thing that stands in the way of full native build is the bison issue. If somebody wants to look at enhancing yacc so that the extra bison bits can be supported, that would probably do the trick. I have no idea of the level of effort, I have not looked. We could run bison under linuxemu; I don't think this approach is as good because it still leaves us a bit dependent on some outside force for bison binaries. But that might be a good stopgap. I'm looking forward to Go 1 because I'm pretty sure that most of what we've had to do for this version of Go will go away :-) I'm still amused that the best way to write portable C is to just ship a reasonable C compiler with Go and use gcc to build that C compiler, and then compile your portable C with it :-) Thanks ron
