What's wrong with the compiler Rust already has

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

LLVM supports fewer target machines than GCC

https://gcc.gnu.org/backends.html has a big table

It's also good to have multiple compilers to exercise the spec.

Except in this case the compiler is the spec.

From what understand GCC supports more architectures than LLVM.

Also having alternatives is always nice.
