Please, let collect together all useful ideas and concrete thoughts? I am sure many people already have thought about which JITing support GCC users need. I also do have my thoughts about this research topic but I would like also to have useful feedback from people who also understand this research topic like me and gcc internals. Please also stop flaming about LLVM.
