Good-oh.

That's the VSI C compiler that supports C90? Presumably compilers for C99
or C11 will need to be Clang-based? 

A silly idea: once the whole LLVM system is running properly on x86-64,
it would presumably be possible to make cross-compilers for its languages
that compiled for IA64. 

Thanks,
