damn, that's so cool
Keep in mind gcc even supports the still undocumented instructions (at least in the english world) such as the vector instructions for 128 and 256-bit vector registers. That's probably because people at Loongson were responsible for the implementation. They also maintain their own soft-forked Linux kernel and their patches eventually make it into mainline. Their soft-fork is more bleeding edge though I guess.
