I've just compiled it in an x86_64, and although there are some
warnings regarding different variable sizes [1], and a couple of
warnings regarding static linking [2], it compiles fine.

bye

[1] One of the variable type warnings:
~/9base-20060123/bc/bc.y:839: warning: cast to pointer from integer of
different size

[2] One of the linking warnings:
LD test
../lib9/lib9.a(_p9dir.o): In function `_p9dir':
_p9dir.c:(.text+0x423): warning: Using 'getgrgid' in statically linked
applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc
version used for linking
