Setting GOOS=plan9 when using the main Go distribution (and linking with symbols stripped 8l -s) will compile to native plan 9 binaries. They assume a stack layout that is not correct when running on 9vx as Anthony points out. The patch I posted is to replace the hard coded values with relative offsets from _tos, so the binaries will run both in 9vx and on a native install of plan 9. Previously I posted a patch for syscall and os Go packages against the Go distribution to allow writing code that can actually do something useful besides println. I'm not sure what you mean by using these with plan9port... Pavel
