What about llvm[1]? It was primary designed to support GCC based C and C++ front-ends but currently it also supports: - Accurate GC - tail calls - output for x86, PowerPC, IA-64, Alpha, SPARC V9, and portable C. - a lot of (program wide and/or profile-guided) analyses and optimizations Are there arguments against llvm?
