Yes, I have been aware of LLVM and I have considered looking into what it would 
take to create an AVR backend for that tool.

The problem is that there are so few people right now who volunteer to help on 
the AVR GCC toolchain, that it's not worth the time and effort to splinter off 
to see if LLVM can produce smaller code for the AVR than GCC.

We need so much help right now on the AVR GCC toolchain, I can't afford the 
time and energy to even look into LLVM.

Could you please remove your confidential notice before sending it to a very 
public avr-gcc-list mailing list which is also archived?
