"Software patent on the principle of optimising compilers"

I browsed through the "claims" section - and I would say that this "patent" could be true for ANY compiler, any language any platform. Regardless of the idea and intent behind the patent - a compiler still needs to be coded and debugged by ones OWN "tools". Thus rebuilding and createing ones OWN work.

Why, because at one time, someone felled a tree across some water - should I today not be able to build a bridge!

just IMHO,
