Just read the following on the Beowulf mailing list - perhaps it is
known here already and I just didn't parse the gcc-patches mails that
talked about EM64T correctly. So just in case:
<QUOTE>
As far as compilers, the AMD64 version of gcc only needs one tweak to
avoid the instruction that Intel screwed up. Intel's compiler is in a
non-public beta at the moment. And as for our compiler, we hope to
support EM64T at production quality in another 4 weeks.
</QOUTE>
"our compiler" is Pathscale's.
Hope this helps,
