As a followup I added a line to PLATFORMS, as particle and Coke requested. I also ran the benchmark tests with an optimized build both with llvm-gcc 4.2 and ordinary gcc 4.2, here is what I get:
ordinary gcc: real 1m29.733s user 1m22.489s sys 0m7.024s llvm-gcc: real 1m55.984s user 1m45.987s sys 0m7.588s (llvm is version 2.2). Not better either, but Reini told me that llvm 2.3 might be better. I also did a 'make testexec' on unoptimized builds, and got tons of test errors with both compilers. -- Moritz Lenz http://moritz.faui2k3.org/ | http://perl-6.de/
