   has anyone run #GCC on #Plan9? I feel like this is nigh impossible.

     I suppose it could be GCC 4 that is all in C, but GCC doesn't have any #ifdefs for Plan 9 that I've seen.

     GCC running on BSD feels like a near-miracle considering how much GNU cares about non-GNU systems :gnu: :blobwhistle:

     @ekaitz_zarraga @Shamar@qoto.org did it require changes to Plan 9? what is preventing the changes to GCC from being upstreamed?

     To be honest it took an incredible amount of time (to me) to enrich libposix enough for newlib to support GCC need.

     Yet #Jehanne deviated from #Plan9 enough to make the port slightly simpler as Jehanne support ELF binaries while Plan 9 and #9front only run (custom) a.out binaries.

     And to be honest, I have no idea on how to change the output binary format of GCC.
