[Jonathan Gray]

Prototypes with a * have since been fixed,
http://marc.info/?l=pcc-commit-list&m=125215185828082&w=2

Additionally it would nice if non specific/referenced claims
such as "very inefficient code" could at least be qualified.

And the GCC pro of
"does not require a C++ compiler to build it" should likely
be added to the PCC section, which is rather noticeable
when X86ISelDAGToDAG starts eating up 700MB or so of memory
when being compiled with gcc.

In similiar taste would be "does not require GNU make to build"
and "does not require GNU grep to run regressions", though
the later does not apply to clang but rather llvm "make check".
