I am working on a research project for which I require using GCC
compiler and I am also using Intel Xeon Phi (aka Intel MIC) co-processor
cards. Looking at the Intel's website it states changes have been
committed to GCC [1]. I was wondering which version of GCC supports it
and what flag should I add for it to generate code that can run on the
Intel Xeon Phi cards. If I have to compile GCC to support it what flags
do I pass to it while building GCC. Really appreciate any help on this.

This gcc doesn't support the parallel floating point instructions (as
your reference says), and several linux components normally built with
it are de-featured. The cross-compiled gcc is supplied with the
coprocessor linux installation.

Thanks for the information. I did find the cross compiler. I will
try to see if I can build the native Xeon Phi compiler if I can
get hold of their patches. I am not interested the floating point
instructions as much, I just want to use gcc to create a proof of
concept work. Hopefully as GCC support matures it can be used as
the mainstream compiler as opposed to the Intel Compilers.
P.S: I am not subscribed to the list so would appreciate if I am
copied in the replies.
