Mostly just a mixture of arrogance and ineptitude that says I want to do this my way? For real, I can't resist a convergence challenge. The image I had in my mind was of an amd64 environment within the Bell Labs release (i386) that would allow me to build either 9atom or 9front releases with minimal adjustments. It probably needs one additional layer above the conventional Bell Labs /sys/src, but it seems feasible. I confess I did not think very hard about it, but the instructions just look so temptingly simple... ++L
