Paolo,
I hope you don't think I was trolling in my initial post. Assuming
plugins will eventually be welcomed into the FSF gcc source tree in
general, there is a valid argument for having dragon-egg present with
a configure option that builds it if the proper llvm is available.
I was absolutely not thinking of anyone in this thread.
FWIW, my opinion is that I think it would be nice to have dragonegg
build out-of-the-box with FSF GCC (and I would very much welcome that my
distro applied the patch, if not) however I don't see a reason to have
it live in the FSF repository.
On the other hand, I would welcome a gcc-clang front-end in the FSF
repository. 16 months ago I probably would have even given it a shot.
