Want to help with atlc? Here's how. 

1) First of all, please test atlc on your platform. Let me know
if it passes or fails and if possible give me the output
of a log file 
configure > log
make >> log
make check >> log

and send me the log 

2) If anyone can write any code to obtain information about
hardware on any systems, it would be much appreciated. 
The format should be very clear form the file 
tests/benchmark.c. This looks for a number of files
try_linux.c, try_solaris.c etc. These files are expected
to fill in the structure computer_data


struct computer_data{
char mhz[MAX_SIZE];                  /* Speed in MHz. Note its a string */
char cpus[MAX_SIZE];                 /* Number of CPUs running          */
char max_cpus[MAX_SIZE];             /* Maximum number of CPUs support by system */
 char sysname[MAX_SIZE];              /* System name - got by uname */
 char nodename[MAX_SIZE];             /* nodename - got via uname            */
 char release[MAX_SIZE];              /* Got via uname, but often wrong      */
 char version[MAX_SIZE];              /* Version of the OS. Sometimes wrong. */
 char machine[MAX_SIZE];              /* Machine name                        */
 char cpu_type[MAX_SIZE*3];           /* The CPU type                        */
 char fpu_type[MAX_SIZE*3];           /* The FPU type                        */
 char memory[MAX_SIZE];               /* The memory in Mb                    */ 
 char hw_provider[MAX_SIZE];          /* The hardware provider - Sun, IBM etc */
 char hw_platform[MAX_SIZE];          /* The hardware platform - eg sun4u    */
 char t1[MAX_SIZE];                   /* Time in s to run benchmark single threaded */
 char t2[MAX_SIZE];                   /* Time in s to run benchmark multi threade
 d */
 char speedup[MAX_SIZE];              /* t1/t2 */
 char eff[MAX_SIZE];                  /* The efficiency - t1/(t2*cpus)     */
 char L1data[MAX_SIZE];               /* Size of level 1 data cache in kb  */
 char L1instruction[MAX_SIZE];        /* Size of level 1 instuction cache in kb *
 /
 char L2[MAX_SIZE];                   /* Size of L2 cache                  */ 
 }a;

with missing information. So if you know how to find the speed of
a linux box, please change try_linux.c so it has the speed in the
structure element 'data.mhz' All information must be stored as
one long string. So if fpu type should be a 'Athlon XP2800', this
then data.fpu_type should say 'Athlon_XP2800', with the underscore
added. 

This really needs doing for Linux and the BSD versions. IRIX I
can do myself at some time. 

3) Add a GUI

4) Provide an HP compiler for HP-UX.
