Sun Studio 12 vs. GCC3 vs. GCC4 Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this month we published an article looking at the Linux versus
| OpenSolaris performance when using the new AMD Shanghai Opteron CPUs. Ubuntu
| Linux was faster than OpenSolaris 2008.11 in nearly all of the tests, but as
| mentioned in that article, OpenSolaris is still dependent upon GCC 3.4 where
| as Ubuntu and most other Linux distributions are now shipping with the newer
| and much-improved GCC 4 series.

Plug-in architecture on the way for the gcc
,----[ Quote ]
| When Richard Stallman began writing Bison in 1983, he was only trying to
| build the bits of an operating system he would need to write another
| operating system. But that recursive goal was no stranger than the recursive
| name he would create for the software he would eventually create: the GNU
| Project, where GNU standard for “ GNU is Not Unix.”
|
| And now, 25 years later, one of the most important tools to come out of the
| GNU Project’s drive for the GNU Operating System—the GNU Compiler Collection—
| has received approval from the Free Software Foundation to begin work on a
| plug-in architecture.
|
| Mark Mitchell, founder of CodeSourcery, confirmed that the FSF gave its
| permission to prepare the gcc for plug-ins. This is the first time that such
| permission has been granted.

BSD Licensed PCC Compiler Imported
,----[ Quote ]
| It is not yet bug-free, but it can compile the i386 userspace. The big
| benefit of it (apart from that it's BSD licensed, for license geeks :-) is
| that it is fast, 5-10 times faster than gcc, while still producing reasonable
| code.
