I have applied Anthony's CL 9796043 together with some tweaks to pkg/runtime/sys_plan9_386.s which I will pass on to Anthony as soon as I can; this has made it possible to complete the first set of run.rc tests without the major incidents I used to see. Some tests still fail, but I wasn't expecting miracles: I believe Anthony (and maybe others) are still working on changes I am not familiar with.
Still, I think I can report some progress, specially towards being able to run a Go builder for the Plan 9/386 platform. What we are going to do about builders for the various offshoots I can't tell. ++L
