May go digging
I may need to go digging for some old hardware, becuz it seems the Plan 9 compiler is not GNU and was said (someplace on the internet I recently visited) to be capable of building the ARM kernel for such things as (was it sheeva? maybe guru?) plug computers.
That could make Plan 9 more interesting for me...
Another thing I surfed across recently is the Glendix project (a bare bones Linux kernel and minimal user world setup, modfied to run Plan 9 programs). According to the site info, not much was needed beyond a small kernel modification, and the addition of a kernel module to effect the changes and run Plan 9 executable format images. I think the project was part of somebody's thesis, so it's been gathering a little dust. Interesing though ...
