I don't see what you gain with either of these that's worth enough to put in that much work and add that much complexity. linuxemu is a better solution for running Linux programs, all of the added unix junk is contained. Using GCC or clang over kencc could be useful in some cases, but there, too, I don't see what fantastic gains you get. I do see major issues there like shipping GPL code with GCC and adding a massive new codebase to the tree (it wouldn't suprise me if GCC or clang's source trees were larger than 9front's). All I really see in Harvey is feature creep and trying to make Plan 9 into Linux.
