No multiple processes/locks, managed to compile
and run a hello.go (with print not fmt). Also test/sieve.go
seems to run until 439 and stops with a
'throw: all goroutines are asleep - deadlock!'
- just like runtime/tiny.
based on Russ's suggestions at:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.plan9/browse_thread/thread/cfda8b82535d2d68/243777a597ec1612
Build instructions:
cd src/pkg/runtime
make clean && GOOS=plan9 make install
this will build and install the runtime.
When linking with 8l, you should pass -s to suppress symbol
generation in the a.out, otherwise the generated executable will not run.
This is runtime only, the porting of the toolchain has already
been done: http://code.google.com/p/go-plan9/source/browse
in the plan9-quanstro branch.

Because the SB is only good for 8k and Go programs
tend to have much more data than that, SB doesn't
save very much. A fmt.Printf-based hello world program
has 360 kB text segment. Removing SB makes the text
500 bytes (0.14%) longer.

Also change the span-dependent jump algorithm
to use fewer iterations:
* resolve forward jumps at their targets (comefrom list)
* mark jumps as small or big and only do small->big
* record whether a jump failed to be encodable
These changes mean that a function with only small
jumps can be laid out in a single iteration, and the
vast majority of functions take just two iterations.
I was seeing a maximum of 5 iterations before; the
max now is 3 and there are fewer that get even that far.

The old code said
if(x) {
handle a
return
}
aa = *a
rewrite aa to make x true
recursivecall(&aa)
The new code says
params = copy out of a
if(!x) {
rewrite params to make x true
}
handle params
but it's hard to see that in the Rietveld diffs because
it gets confused by changes in indentation.
Avoiding the recursion makes other changes easier.

Using explicit relocations internally, we can
represent the data for a particular symbol as
an initialized block of memory instead of a
linked list of ADATA instructions. The real
goal here is to be able to hand off some of the
relocations to the dynamic linker when interacting
with system libraries, but a pleasant side effect is
that the memory image is much more compact
than the ADATA list, so the linkers use less memory.

After a fill(), there is nothing to back up. Make sure UnreadRune
recognizes the situation.
Fixes#1137.
(Stops the crash, but doesn't make UnreadRune usable after a Peek()).

The Plan 9 tools assume that long is 32 bits.
We converted all instances of long to int32 when
importing the code but missed the print formats.
Because int32 is always int on the compilers we use,
it is never correct to use %lux, %ld, etc. Convert to %ux, %d, etc.
(It matters because on 64-bit gcc, long is 64 bits,
so we were printing 32-bit quantities with 64-bit formats.)

* Maintain Sym* list for text with individual
prog lists instead of using one huge list and
overloading p->pcond.
* Comment what each file is for.
* Move some output code from span.c to asm.c.
* Move profiling into prof.c, symbol table into symtab.c.
* Move mkfwd to ld/lib.c.
* Throw away dhog dynamic loading code.
* Throw away Alef become.
* Fix printing of WORD instructions in 5l -a.
Goal here is to be able to handle each piece of text or data
as a separate piece, both to make it easier to load the
occasional .o file and also to make it possible to split the
work across multiple threads.

This is entirely adding and removing tabs.
It looks weird but will make the diffs for the
next change easier to read.

Use a bytes.Buffer in log writing instead of string concatenation.
Should reduce the number of allocations significantly.

6l was skipping emitting the (2 byte) symbol table if there were no imported or exported
symbols. You can't just drop the symbol table entirely - the linker dies if you have
a linkedit section but no table. You can omit the linkedit section or both the linkedit
and the dlyd parts in the right circumstances, but that seems much more risky to me.

New logging interface simplifies and generalizes.
1) Loggers now have only one output.
2) log.Stdout, Stderr, Crash and friends are gone.
Logging is now always to standard error by default.
3) log.Panic* replaces log.Crash*.
4) Exiting and panicking are not part of the logger's state; instead
the functions Exit* and Panic* simply call Exit or panic after
printing.
5) There is now one 'standard logger'. Instead of calling Stderr,
use Print etc. There are now triples, by analogy with fmt:
Print, Println, Printf
What was log.Stderr is now best represented by log.Println,
since there are now separate Print and Println functions
(and methods).
6) New functions SetOutput, SetFlags, and SetPrefix allow global
editing of the standard logger's properties. This is new
functionality. For instance, one can call
log.SetFlags(log.Lshortfile|log.Ltime|log.Lmicroseconds)
to get all logging output to show file name, line number, and
time stamp.
In short, for most purposes
log.Stderr -> log.Println or log.Print
log.Stderrf -> log.Printf
log.Crash -> log.Panicln or log.Panic
log.Crashf -> log.Panicf
log.Exit -> log.Exitln or log.Exit
log.Exitf -> log.Exitf (no change)
This has a slight breakage: since loggers now write only to one
output, existing calls to log.New() need to delete the second argument.
Also, custom loggers with exit or panic properties will need to be
reworked.
All package code updated to new interface.
The test has been reworked somewhat.
The old interface will be removed after the new release.
For now, its elements are marked 'deprecated' in their comments.
Fixes#1184.

Package iterable has outlived its utility.
It is an interesting demonstration, but it encourages
people to use iteration over channels where simple
iteration over array indices or a linked list would be
cheaper, simpler, and have fewer races.
