A month or so ago I got the go compiler chain to build on plan9,
port is too grand a term, it was just fixing a few nits.

I wrote mkfiles and fixed a few minor bugs. The bigest problem was my knowledge
of yacc was not sufficent to rework the error generation magic go uses from
the bison based code to plan9 yacc code. perhaps there is a yacc expert out there
who would be interested in helping?

I am happy to push back my changes, but without either getting yacc to work, or,
abandoning yacc and porting bison, I didn't feel it was ready.
