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
