<p>LLVM 2.2 includes several major new capabilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Scott Michel contributed an SPU backend, which generates code for the
vector coprocessors on the Cell processor. (Status?)</li>
<li>A research team led by Scott Michel in the Computer Systems Research
Department at The Aerospace Corporation contributed the CellSPU backend, which
generates code for the vector coprocessors on the Sony/Toshiba/IBM Cell BE
processor. llvm-gcc 4.2 supports CellSPU as a 'configure' target and progress
is being made so that libgcc.a compiles cleanly. Notable pieces still in
development include full 64-bit integer and full double precision floating
point support.</li>
<li>Anton and Duncan significantly improved llvm-gcc 4.2 support for the GCC Ada
(GNAT) and Fortran (gfortran) front-ends. These front-ends should still be considered
