Nice stuff! I remember from a practical work with libFIRM that it is quite pleasant to work with (though there is a bit of a learning curve). How are the chances of this code staying under GPL2? I suppose there is no chance to get it dual-licensed under BSDL as well? In addition, how much work is it to build missing backends? It seems like there is no amd64 or sparc support at the moment? -- /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
