[9fans] Compiling plan9port under Mac OS X 10.6

[plus 852]

Has anyone had success with compiling plan9port under Mac OS X 10.6
(Snow Leopard)? I've submitted an issue report at
http://code.swtch.com/plan9port/issue/27/compiling-under-snow-leopard
that provides the error messages I received. I then tried adding
CC9=gcc -m32 to a $PLAN9/LOCAL.config file, but when running ./install
I ended up with a variety of the following errors:

>>> /Users/--/plan9/config: line 1: -m32: command not found

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

If LOCAL.config is a shell script, then the shell interprets "CC9=gcc"
as setting a shell variable named CC9 to gcc, and -m32 as the name of
an executable file to run.  For example:

; CC9='gcc -m32' echo $CC9
gcc -m32

In the shell, you have to use quotes when you have a space in a
variable's value.  In makefiles you don't.
