t). 1.6.1 is not ancient and I didn't even need to compile it. Plan 9 runs just fine. 2.0 I compiled because I needed the new arm64 support. It wasn't hard. -- Aram Hăvărneanu

Why do people insist on VirtualBox? How many times it has to be said. VirtualBox is utter shite. QEMU and VMware work. QEMU is especially interesting because it can work without a broken kernel driver (although it can use kvm, a good kernel driver on Linux). -- Aram Hăvărneanu

7;s 8c are different programs. Different calling conventions, different output. Right now Go's 8c uses liblink and generates machine code. .8 files cannot be consumed by Plan 9's 8l. Even before liblink there were serious incompatibilities in the object files. 8c is going away soon anyway,

It's easy to make it use clang directly (instead of gcc wrapper) and compile it in 32-bit mode, the larger issue is that it uses an obsolete devdraw implementation that doesn't compile in Mavericks any more... -- Aram Hăvărneanu
