So... yes userspace is sometimes compiled with non-GCC compiler :-)
The pathscale, and pgi compilers also get a reasonable amount of use.
pathscale has a gcc derived front-end so it isn't to much to worry about.
The pgi compiler as I recall is a fairly pedantic c90 compiler, that doesn't try and support gcc extensions.
