It's a nifty idea, a sort of uClibc of C compilers. Alas it's useless on almost all my systems because it's x86-only by design... > That aims for full c99 and is already implementing a lot of gcc stuff too. Good for it, as long as it doesn't go on to define __GNUC__ like icc did at one point (even though it doesn't implement all GCC extensions)... but Fabrice is sane so I doubt he'd do anything that loopy. -- `Come now, you should know that whenever you plan the duration of your unplanned downtime, you should add in padding for random management freakouts.' - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
