The details have escaped me, but the binaries may be the simplest method, because they're (hopefully) just plug-and-play.

Perform the empirical test. Building on amd64 works fine. Building on 386 is broken since 1.4.3 and now even building 1.4.2 fails. The trivial fixes mentioned have not been verified, documented, nor applied upstream.

The 386 binaries in question suicide on 9front. Fish and others are well aware of this since at least 1.5 but nobody does anything to address the problem. We just tell people who don't know any better that everything works great.

Welcome to the Plan 9 community.
