I'm curious as to why Apple is doing this. Is it simply that they think a GCC with LLVM merged in would be better and don't care for the FSF politics of it all? Or is there some interest in using the LLVM IR as a CPU abstraction for software distribution (as was talked about in the context of autopackage on the LLVM list?). thanks -mike
