Hi, I am missing some background information to follow what is being discussed here, so...
What is the PyPy speed difference after using gcc versus llvm for the compilation of the PyPy-c backend? Would generating .ll instead of .c files really give any benefit? More interesting would still be using llvm as a PyPy-jit-backend. Is there anything new in the llvm world that would make this feasible? There used to be various issues with our previous attempts of using llvm, as we know all to clearly.
