Problem
On a sufficiently large C++ test program compilation time is quite
slow. Here's a quote from the end user for why it matters "cause you
know ... in development, I compile more often than I run the damn
thing". You can see below that most of the time is spent in gcc.
Solutions
a. Don't use gcc fe (eg psclang)
b. Find the bottleneck in building whirl from libspin (I think
transversing the AST tree like we are now is really inefficient and
probably unsolvable - See below)
c. Don't use c++ ;)
32bit appears to win a little, but not much. We can probably switch to
using smaller portable types and save some time.
pathCC is a ELF 64-bit LSB executable
openCC is a ELF 32-bit LSB executable
Thoughts? Anyone else care about this?
