I am working a little on clang/llvm and I also looked at pcc, it's not
there yet to be able to compile world/kernel but it's progressing well...


there are two major features missing from clang (designated initializers
and wchars) that prevents it from compiling world/kernel, and of course
bugs :) but I am periodically checking how it performs and I post thebugs
to the llvm/clang team...

I believe we'll have it one day :)
