Job advert: Compiler designer/architect

[Benedict R. Gaster]

The following job advert has been sent to both the GCC and Pro64 mailing
lists and I thought maybe of interest to people on this mailing list.
SuperH are not looking for Haskell developers but rather are keen to
recruit people with experience in language design and implementation.

(The Pro64 is a highly optimizing compiler initially designed by SGI and
targeted for the MIPS and IA64 architectures. Recently the Pro64 was
made open source and SuperH is in the process of porting this technology
to a selection of their current and future microprocessors.)
