Re: On elisp running native

[Ergus <spacibba@aol.com>]

Maybe a bit orthogonal to where the thread is going. But I have seen
that libgccjit is in alpha stage and has been like that for years
(according to the page). The source is included in gcc, but not compiled
by default in any distribution. I don't find distributions providing it
with the gcc bundle (I can ask for it's inclusion in arch, but I have no
idea about the others).

Andrea, are you aware about the progress of the development of libgccjit
and some estimation about when it is going to be stable? Because I can't
ask for the inclusion of alpha libraries in the distros.

Very thanks for this,
Ergus
