Yes, Skip is right. On your system Rune is defined as ushort instead of uint. The change from ushort to uint was done in April 2013. While you could successfully cross-compile Go 1.5, it will probably not work on your machine. In fact, the nsec system call will likely be missing as well, since it was introduced in Plan 9 in May 2014. You should update your system. Since plan9.bell-labs.com is currently down, you could either change your 9fs script and change it to pull from 9p.io, like this: http://9legacy.org/9legacy/patch/9fs-9p.io.diff Or use the latest Plan 9 CD image: http://9p.io/plan9/download/plan9.iso.bz2 Then, you will be able to compile and execute Go 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 successfully. -- David du Colombier
