"SGI has discontinued development and support of SGI Pro64TM compiler
 development tools. SGI marketing is interested in hearing from Linux
 developers. Please send any comments or suggestions to
 IA64devtools@oss.sgi.com. Thank you for your interest in SGI Pro64
 compiler development tools."


I wonder if they might be convinced now to sign over copyright to FSF
so that some of the more interesting technology (e.g., the high-level
loop optimizer and the interprocedural opts) in that compiler could be
developed actively. Just a thought.
