[LLVMdev] Quest for more targets

I'm also very interested in an msp430 backend.  I had been considering 
seeing if I could hack out a first draft over winter break.  This would be 
very useful to one of my students who is currently stuck doing things in 
gcc.  The msp430 port of gcc is not closely maintained and seems quite 
buggy.

This would be great too.

I'd also like to see an AVR port.

For targets with limited code size (i.e. all of these) the LLVM inliner 
needs to be brought under control.  I know how to do it but may not be 
able to make time.

My sense is that LLVM could be an extremely strong embedded compiler 
without too much work.
