[...] On the other hand, Parrot built quite nicely on x86-64, although I think I
like the 32-bit build (which also built just fine, albeit without ICU) better due to the excellent JIT support.
Not sure if the list will let this through, since I'm subscribed under another account, but here's the problem with that: llvm is a very light layer, but it's yet another layer. To put it between parrot and hardware would mean that parrot is JITing to LLVM byte-code, which is JITing to machine code. Not really ideal. -- Aaron Sherman Senior Systems Engineer and Toolsmith [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
