Native Image using Graal

[mziener]

Hi all,

i have used the GraalVM tooling in order to create a native binary. Preliminary tests suggest a decent speed up. For instance on sur_cantor.p from the test suite:

• Nonnative: % SZS status Theorem for ../src/test/resources/problems/sur_cantor.p : 1721 ms resp. 1128 ms w/o parsing
• Native: % SZS status Theorem for ../src/test/resources/problems/sur_cantor.p : 225 ms resp. 195 ms w/o parsing

The build instructions can be found in the INSTALL.md.

In case of any questions or comments, feel free to reach out.

Best regards, Marco

The build in the Makefile only works for Linux Distributions.

MacOS (DARWIN) does not allow statical linking of libraries.

Cool, thanks for the work! I'll do some tests on machine this week.
