Christoph, good day.

A few days ago libFIRM[1] and cparser were added to the ports tree. If
you want to see, what other compilers besides GCC have to offer, this
might be of interest for you. libFIRM is a modern optimizing
intermediate representation (IR) library. cparser is a C compiler
providing many useful warnings and uses libFIRM for optimization and
code generation.

The whole description looks like that of LLVM GCC port, http://llvm.org/
Do you know something about that project and if yes, could you, please,
provide brief comparison of these two?

Thanks!
