IBM PowerPC C-Compiler?

Hi,

is there anyone out there having access to the IBM PowerPC-Compilers? They
seam to be rather nice, and it would be great to create some binaries with
those. Maybe we should start a collection among OS-X radiance users and buy
a license for radiance-online.org, so that we get optimized builds... ?

CU Lars.

Lars,

There appears to be a 60 day trial version on offer from IBM:

Perhaps the license prohibits distribution of software compiled with the
trial
version. Even so, may be worth trying out just to find out what the speed
advantage is over gcc.
