As a (feeble?) attempt to put some more life into this otherwise dead
list (not really dead, but very little is going on. Maybe everybody's on
vacation[Vacation, what's that?]) I'd like to hear anyone's thoughts on
the AMD Athlon. It's strengths, weaknesses, who wants one, who doesn't.

It should probably center around the possibility for optimizing
GCC(Formerly EGCS)/PGCC for it.

Maybe as a sideline, some comments on the IA-64, and EPIC. Apparrently
some compiler writers are excited, but maybe we should hear more, beyond
the docs, to what it could actually mean.

Anyone, Anyone?
