Why is it named Nimrod?
-----------------------
You have to find out for yourself. If you don't find a tongue-in-cheek
interpretation you have to look harder.
How is Nimrod licensed?

the GCC from your ``PATH`` environment variable.

Unsupported compilers contain serious bugs that keep them from bootstrapping
Nimrod.
The linker outputs strange errors about missing symbols
-------------------------------------------------------
I have seen this bug only with the GNU linker. The reason for this unknown.
Try recompiling your code with the ``--force_build`` command line switch.
Why is compilation so slow?
---------------------------
There are two reasons for this:
(1) Nimrod always recompiles **everything** (but only calls the C compiler for
modules that changed). In a future version, only modules that have changed
will be recompiled.
(2) The C compiler that is called by Nimrod may be slow.
Especially GCC's compile times are not very heady. On Linux you may be able
to get `Tiny C <http://bellard.org/tcc/>`_ to work. TCC has excellent
compile times. You should not use TCC for producing the release version
though, as it has no optimizer.
Note that from version 0.7.10 onwards the default build produces an optimized
binary.
