They support FreeBSD and have an Alpha backend. - The latest versions of GCC are under the GPLv3, which is being avoided by= FreeBSD and other projects, at least for the immediate future. FreeBSD-Alpha bugs may not be specific to FreeBSD, but of course if no one = cares to report problems they won't get fixed and eventually they will drop= support too. FWIW, more info on LLVM specific to FreeBSD: http://www.bsdcan.org/2008/schedule/track/Invited%20Talks/99.en.html cheers, Pedro.=0A=0A=0A Posta, news, sport, oroscopo: tutto in una sola pa= gina. =0ACrea l'home page che piace a te!=0Awww.yahoo.it/latuapagina
