I'm curious as to why Apple is doing this. Is it simply that they think a
GCC with LLVM merged in would be better and don't care for the FSF
politics of it all? Or is there some interest in using the LLVM IR as a
CPU abstraction for software distribution (as was talked about in the
context of autopackage on the LLVM list?).
