Thanks for explaining the difference. I guessed I had made a couple of too simplistic assumptions.
On the other hand, would it be feasible to use a mix of native Plan9 on Glendix and Plan9port (static)binaries in the default /bin as primary utilities and the regular GNU stuff in some sort of "APE" directory? (something not recommended by the plan9port guys, but on the other hand that is on a "normal" GNU/Linux distribution, whereas this hypothetical glendix distribution -as far as I see- more would be about proof-of-concept where the plan9port portion could be gradually reduced as Glendix gets more and more native Plan9 binaries to execute correctly).
