Perhaps we could petition Atmel to sponsor a couple of students to
make a starting point over as a summer project?
I don't think we're quite at a point to do that yet. But I'm not
ruling it out completely.
I really don't know the status of LLVM and how well it would work for a
small device like the AVR - but it would be *very* interesting to find
out! There are a lot of small microcontrollers with limited or no open
source compilers, most of which are poorly suited to gcc ports. Maybe
they are equally unsuitable for LLVM ports - but maybe not. The only
way to know for sure is for someone to work on such a port and see how
it goes. That sounds like a great student project to me!
