   sorry, but I would say "most of the old compilers have ...".   
      
   They do exist since many decades, and were designed early for sequential   
   processors.   
      
   Modern compilers target modern ILP processors, not sequential ones...   
   If your register allocation use graph coloring as for the old sequential   
   processors, then it is not well designed for ILP processors.   
      
   However, some embedded low power processor (such as ARM) are still   
   sequential.
