So I was reading the buzz about Dirndl last week and then it turns out
to be the EKOPath 4 compiler going open source. I saw the bench against
GCC (a slightly older version) and it pretty much smoked it
(http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=pathscale_ekopath4_open&num=1)
in all of the tests. Kris, it's available for FreeBSD. I know the
FreeBSD devs want to go to LLVM and dump GCC but on the surface EKOPath
looks like it would smoke LLVM too. I'll wait to see the benches against
GCC 4.6 and LLVM though, heck maybe PCC too. Do you think there'd be a
way to choose it as an alternative compiler to LLVM down the road?
