Really, for the PPC64/Cell compiler I don't care about the name...
But then we also need a compiler for the SPUs; that will be much more
annoying to deal with :-)

while.
However: If we were to put effort into a G5 port, which is cheap to do
(buy a mac!), we'd be ready to rock and roll on the Cell when systems
become more generally available.
So, Plan 9 is getting fixed for 64-bit mode, we have a K8 compiler
now as
a template. What do we name the compiler?
Cell C (or cc)? Just joking!
G5 C or gc? I'll stop now.
