No mention of things like the use of LLVM as a backend, I take it?

I wasn't there, but for those who are wondering
about the status of LLVM and GCC, the most
recent posts I know of are
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-03/msg00706.html (as of March,
copyright assignment papers hadn't yet been signed)
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-06/msg00153.html (as
of June, the rival LTO proposal is moving ahead)

Can somebody who was at the lto/llvm discussion at the gcc summit comment?

And for those who are wondering what LLVM and LTO are,
see the presentations at

Thanks. I hadn't heard of the LTO proposal.
