  Description     : alternative compiler for amd64 and intel64

>From their web pages:

Open64 is the final result of research contributions from a number of
compiler groups around the world. Formerly known as Pro64, Open64 was
initially created by SGI and licensed under the GNU Public License
(GPL v2). It was derived from SGI's MIPSPro compiler.

Open64 also derives from work done by Intel Corp, in conjunction with
the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They created the Open Research Compiler
(ORC), a specially modified version of Open64 with custom modifications
for researchers. These changes were later folded back into the main
Open64 source tree in 2005.

Open64 has been retargetted to a number of architectures. Pathscale
modified Open64 to create EkoPath, a compiler for the AMD64
architecture. The University of Delaware's Computer Architecture and
Parallel Systems Laboratory (CAPSL) modified Open64 to create the
Kylin Compiler, a compiler for Intel's X-Scale architecture. CAPSL and
Hewlet-Packard are currently working on Osprey, a project to replace
Open64's front end (derived from GCC 2.95's frontend) with the current
GCC front end.

The Open64 compiler suite currently includes compilers for C, C++, and
Fortran90/95 compilers for the IA-64 Linux ABI and API standards. Open64
is currently in version 4.0. Professor Guang Gao and CAPSL at the
University of Delaware are the current gatekeepers of the project.

Open64 is dead upstream with the last release 5 years ago, and therefore 
not much point in resuming the packaging attempts that were done several 
years ago.

       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
