Hi there,
I own an iBook/G3 and don't run OS X on it, for reasons I don't need
to mention to you (just have a look into OpenDarwin source and you
understand), thus I run Linux/powerpc (in my case Debian) on it -
which sucks less.
Anyway, the plan9port.tgz don't build on Linux/ppc because there's no
plan9/src/libthread/Linux-power-asm.s file. I have no clue about
PowerPC assembler, thus I tried following trick:
% cd plan9/src/libthread/
% cp NetBSD-power-asm.s Linux-power-asm.s
Afterwards I rebuild everything and it works well. All tools compile
fine, acme works.
@Russ: I tried several tools, and they didn't crashed, thus I expect
it to be safe to include this trick as mentioned in the p9p
distribution tarball.
Regards,

Fantastic. Thanks for the report.
