Ooh!  No intent to offend.  I actually haven't even looked at the kernel
code, yet.  I was referring to the bits under /sys/src/cmd/.

You mean port the userspace to GCC?  Or the kernel?  Wouldn't that kind
of defeat the intent behind Plan 9's redesigned toolchain?  Is gcc even
supported enough on Plan 9 for serious work?  The docs I've read seem to
suggest that gcc is kind of "glued onto the side of" Plan 9 proper.

Some, yes.  But most not.  At least not yet.  :) I expect I might run
into trouble figuring out how to pass around strings containing NUL
bytes, though.
