Neither Windows nor MacOS was intended > to push major GNU packages out of use. You sound paranoid. LLVM is not meant to kill GCC more than Windows is meant to kill GNU/Linux. Yes, they compete. But the intention is not to replace one with another. The intention of people working on LLVM is to solve their immediate problem, and for one reason or another, they don't consider GCC as a good way to solve their problem. Nobody would benefit from killing GCC, really. Not even control freaks who think the GPL is the plague. Stefan
