I do not see an inherent conflict between those two things. This was
also not the main reason to try to get PCC working on Plan9 (I tend to
speculate wildly sometimes - life gets more fun that way). I first of
all just thought it was the most likely one to be possible to port and
which might bring some benefit (TCC would be nice too, but that one
has portability issues even to BSD last thing I read).

Anyone know anything about open64/ecopath64?
