Hi all, After searching for a decent compiler backend for ages (google sometimes isn't helpful), I recently stumbled upon LLVM. Woot!! I work on bignum arithmetic (I'm a professional mathematician) and have recently decided to switch from developing GPL'd bignum code to BSD licensed code. (See http://www.mpir.org/ which I contributed to for a while - a fork of GMP). Please bear with
