The point I was making is that in the portability of Linux to many architectures gcc is a crucial
factor. It is all well to say that Linux can in principle be compiled by any suitable compiler and that
icc can compile Linux. The statement I made is that linux is intrinsically tied to gcc in the light of
Linux's famed portability. I thought that from the theme of this subthread the wording was clear
enough, if perhaps a little too implicit.
