improving gcc sparc backend.
Actually we are fixing gcc own bugs and contribute them back.
To be clear, not bugs in the SPARC back-end.
May I also suggest to find a different name for the product? Presumably it
doesn't run on Linux or FreeBSD so GCC for SPARC Systems is a bit
misleading, given

This is a completely ridiculous assertion. Do you have any
evidence to back this up? There is no reason that GCC could not intercept
Sun CC if some effort

Instead of pleased, I'd be ashamed for announcing this. To me
it feels like you're announcing with pride how you
for SPARC Systems is a bit
misleading, given that FSF GCC for SPARC does run on the aforementioned
operating systems in addition to Solaris. Something like Sun GCC for
SPARC/Solaris Systems although I'm not sure if using GCC is not already
misleading.
Glad you mentioned it. Really. I don't like

Done and already in 3.4.0 and improved for the tree level in 4.1.0.

I think it needs to be fully platform dependent, but anyway.
Certainly would be interesting to

It rather hurts performance when I tried it. Check -xprefetch* flags
There is a new tree level prefetching pass on the mainline, maybe you
should try it again.
