On x86, just use the compiler that doesn't ICE on your code. ;-)
What people shouldn't forget is that Intel C++ is insanely better than
GCC on IA-64 - we're talking "factor of two" here. Whether or not future
IA-64 chips become popular probably doesn't have a whole lot to do with
GCC's performance on that platform, but as it stands, you're pretty
crazy to use GCC for serious production work on IA-64 hardware.
Anyone interested in seeing daily GCC-on-ia64 performance charts, like
aj's? I'll grab the scripts and run them on an itanium box here if you'd
like...
