egcs/gcc is _not_ Linux-specific.  I do wish that Linux advocates would at
least acknowledge that Linux ain't the end-all and be-all of UNIX.

gcc predates Linux by quite a piece.  Most of the work that goes into gcc is
_not_ tied to the OS -- rather, it's improving code generation for a
_hardware_ target.
