Just one thing that crossed my mind: AFAIK, the name of GCC on BG/Q follows the general naming scheme of GCC for cross-compilers. Thus, rather than making it specific to BG/Q, why not make it a generic "crossgcc.py" or the like? May be overkill for the moment, but I could imagine this being useful in the future for other setups, too -- such as cross-compiling for ARM (based on my experience, these mobile chips are not really made for compiling stuff ;-)). > I know Markus Geimer there at Jülich > expressed some interest before SC15, but I > don't think he's working on it at all.
