We are using the Verdix compiler on a SiliconGraphics for about a
year now. From what I have experienced I would not even expect Verdix
to be the second or third or ... kid. They are neither able to provide
a standard ISO math library nor are they able to provide a POSIX
interface to the operating system. As long as they do not come up
with these simple things I won't dare to dream of any 9X features.
