Intel Looks To Make Large Contribution To GCC

[Michael Lauzon]

Just found this story online, here is a brief quote, link to the story
will follow:

"Intel contributes quite a bit to the development of X.Org and the
Linux kernel, through a number of Intel employees working on Linux
full-time, making hardware contributions, etc. Up until recently,
Intel even had its own Linux distribution (Moblin) for their Atom
hardware. One area, however, where Intel has not been a major
contributor is with the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) considering they
have long preferred their own high-performance Intel Compiler (ICC)."
