Ouch, but I suppose this is less work than say write form scratch an
optimizing JIT for 4 or 5 different architectures (x86, AMD64, powerpc32bit,
powerpc64bit, sparc, arm, etc.)
Well, I dunno. I would think that if we got enough momentum and became 'real', we'd find someone from Intel, AMD, IBM, Sun etc to help out ;)
I'm actually not that worried about the ports.
I think that this is one of the few places where I'd bet that "if we build it, they *will* come"

From the llvm web site: "LLVM does not currently support garbage
collection of multi-threaded programs or GC-safe points other than function calls, but these will be added in the future as there is interest." I would imagine that's quite a lot of work.
