It sounds like you are running 8c -c file.c
to compile file.c into an object file.
This is a typical Unix command line,
but on Plan 9 the compilers create object
files, not executables, by default, so
you can just say "8c file.c".  Adding -c
just sets the 'c' flag, which causes the
compiler to print some more information
about control flow, in this case a print about
the const if false.

If you just run 8c file.c (or even 8c -w file.c),
you shouldn't see this message.  If you still
see a message, please report exactly what it is.

Russ
