It's not just registers. GCC should be rewritten from scratch to get much faster. The whole method and datastructure belonging to that is simply not providing enough easyness for compiler optimizations to work well. Basically its design is a compatible design that means that it won't produce much different code for a 32 bits single chip when compared to a highend opteron or not to mention an itanium2-madison processor.
