I think pcc is currently the only realistic solution, but it still needs a lot of work, and we would want to do this without compromising support for gcc/clang, so it means fixing pcc, as well as adding more architectures. (I would be happy with a no c++ base system to support this). pcc has come a long way, and we could get to a pcc base system for some architectures for 8.0 I think. Justin
