Howdy Cosmo,

We also need to get rid of cloog-ppl and move to cloog isl. http:// 
www.bastoul.net/cloog/pages/download/cloog-0.16.3.tar.gz

cloog parma is being phased out and isl is the future. When  
configuring binutils and gcc using --with-cloog-backend=isl then  
cloog isl backend will be used.

Check here for more info: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ 
prerequisites.html  at the Cloog prerequisite. Do not use cloog-isl  
0.17.0  gcc 4.6 isn't ready for it and will not find it nor use it no  
matter how hard someone tries. Unless they find a way to edit the 4.6  
tree to use it.

GCC 4.7 should include it in the tree I think. I read that was  
possibly being done now to include cloog.

Also, we build graphite with CLFS but we don't really explain how to  
use it or what it does with these options which are in the GCC online  
documentation under the optimizations section: -floop-interchange - 
floop- strip-mine -floop-block -fgraphite-identity -floop-parallelize- 
all

For what polyhedral transformations do and more info the following  
links will help:

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Graphite
http://impact.gforge.inria.fr/impact2012/  (will need a pdf viewer)

Sincerely,
William Harrington
