Being completely unaware whether this subject has been
elaborated upon before...
..could anybody please comment on how difficult it would
be to port GCC to a VLIW architecture, e.g., the Merced
CPU (see the HP/Intel announcement at the Microprocessor
Forum tomorrow)?
We're trying to make the case for an early port of the
GNU utilities and the Linux kernel to a Merced box.
Thanks a whole lot for your help.
