Are those other nodes compiling source for Linux?  Are they concerned about
their source for whatever compiler being portable to gcc?  Do they even
have a valid licence for whatever compiler?  Why should it be up to Linux
people to pirate software?  What's wrong with IBM and MS people?  I'd argue
that those people have been in the business of piratization far longer and
are probably more capable in ensuring compatibility of pirated code with
whatever compiler.

Life is good,
Maurice
