Speaking of which, has anyone ever compiled the ia32 Linux kernel with the
Intel compiler? I thought I saw some patches floating around to make it
compile the ia64 kernel .... that'd be an interesting test case ... might
give us some ideas about what could be tweaked in GCC (or code rejiggled in
the kernel).
