For the record, I was mostly joking about Dreamcast ;) ... while I did
support it actively some years back, I haven't built that code in a
while. It would be a lot of fun to get it working again though :P
Incidentally, there's a GCC dev that's been committing SIMD
optimisations for the SH4 (Dreamcast) backend recently. He's obviously
having some fun making all the vector intrinsics work with the DC
hardware.
Latest GCC is the best Dreamcast compiler we've ever had!
