RE: Is it really useable?

I've tried the llvm-gcc bundled with XCode 3.1.1. So far there doesn't seem to be much practical use for it. The compiler bombs when attempting to compile Qt4.4.3.

Anybody had any better luck? There has been claims that llvm-gcc produces code faster than vanilla gcc.

What's the minimum gcc compiler allowed to compile Qt4.4.3?

The minimums are available here:

Looks like gcc 3.4 and above should work.
