That's an interesting project, but it doesn't qualify as portable yet since it's currently entirely dependent on gcc inline assembly syntax and doesn't support a number of important architectures, including ARM. Thanks for sharing though, I'll keep an eye on it.
It is _portable_. It's not intensively _ported_ yet:
Archs: Power, SPARCv9, x86, x86-64
Compilers: gcc, clang, icc, suncc
Adding a wildly different compiler shouldn't be the end of the world but it would need some build sys work and a new compiler wrapper.
Samy was focusing on a few archs that help debug the code. I got him access to the GCC build farm, but the ARM boxes there were fairly weak when I remember. Access to good hardware might help him move it along.
