I am working a little on clang/llvm and I also looked at pcc, it's not there yet to be able to compile world/kernel but it's progressing well... there are two major features missing from clang (designated initializers and wchars) that prevents it from compiling world/kernel, and of course bugs :) but I am periodically checking how it performs and I post thebugs to the llvm/clang team... I believe we'll have it one day :) roman
