Tail call optimisation in GCC

[Noel Welsh <noelw@dai.ed.ac.uk>]

Thought this might be of interest to Schemers:

-----

>From http://gcc.gnu.org/

Jeff Law and Richard Henderson of Cygnus, a Red Hat company, have
contributed RTL based tail call elimination optimizations. Support
currently exists for the Alpha, HPPA, ia32 and MIPS processors. Long
term the RTL based tail call optimizations will be replaced with a
tree based tail call optimizer.

-----

No release yet, so intrepid coders will have to go with the
development snapshots.

cya,
Noel
