-<p>It would be very useful to <a
-href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Porting.html";>port</a>
<a
-href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/";>glibc</a> to LLVM. This would allow a
-variety of interprocedural algorithms to be much more effective in the face of
-library calls. The most important pieces to port are things like the string
-library and the <tt>stdio</tt> related functions... low-level system calls like
-'<tt>read</tt>' should stay unimplemented in LLVM.</p>
+<p>
+The <a href="docs/TestingGuide.html#wholeprograms">llvm-test</a> testsuite is
+a large collection of programs we use for nightly testing of generated code
+performance, compile times, correctness, etc. Having a large testsuite gives
+us a lot of coverage of programs and enables us to spot and improve any
+problem areas in the compiler.</p>
+
+<p>
+One extremely useful task, which does not require in-depth knowledge of
+compilers, would be to extend our testsuite to include <a href=
+"http://nondot.org/sabre/LLVMNotes/#benchmarks";>new programs and
benchmarks</a>.
+In particular, we are interested in cpu-intensive programs that have few
+library dependencies, produce some output that can be used for correctness
+testing, and that are redistributable in source form. Many different programs
+are suitable, for example, see <a
+href="http://nondot.org/sabre/LLVMNotes/#benchmarks";>this list</a> for some
+potential candidates.
