There were some efforts to start a LLVM-based toolchain for Plan 9
during GSoC'09 (did not result in a project), and there are ongoing
discussions to try it this year. The same stands for Inferno toolchain
(it was never proposed before, though).

There are two administrative questions: which organization should mentor
these projects and in which source tree should the result be included?
There will be substantial amount of code that will be specific for Plan
9/Inferno, and probably it will not be welcome in LLVM tree. On the
other hand, a student may require mentoring by people from both
projects.
