Shortly after a new shiny Intel MacBook lands on my desk. The 15" model is however too heavy for my taste; I'm tempted to wait for a smaller, lighter model. > I assume the major > building blocks are already present but the cognoscenti still need to > hook them up the right way. Based on the PowerPC/MacOSX and PowerPC/Linux ports, I'd expect the changes to the x86 code generator to be small. If someone has an Intel Mac and is willing to run a test for me (basically, compile a C file of mine to assembler and mail me the generated assembly), that would help planning the porting work. - Xavier Leroy
