    Ok, well, the Intel compiler actually ends up emulating GCC and
    supports most of its extensions; supposedly it can even be used to
    compile the kernel sources, as per include/linux/compiler-intel.h. (I
    don't know how recently this has been tested, though) So does
    anybody compile userspace under anything other than GCC or Intel
    compilers? Do any such compilers even exist?

    Cheers,
