I got a few math libraries ported in my contrib that maybe you can use.
Along with a few more libraries I am trying to port. I will try to 
restart an old circuit simulation project. I used octave and matlab
for some simulations for work.
At home I am trying to do the matlab stuff using p9p 8c, hoc and awk.
 
I would rather see more more plan9 code get ported to linux than linux
code get ported to plan9. In this light a gcc is not the best option, I
guess an 8c tools is best.
