Gerald's not only a user, he's a long-time GCC developer, SC member and gcc.gnu.org webmaster, and he's been giving the BSDs a lot of love despite working for a Linux-based org during the day.

But running GCC's regression test suite, while useful and important, isn't as big a job as using the compiler to build an entire distribution (including ports trees). That's what Martin's been doing for Debian. Volunteers welcome.
