Intel would love to hamstring Linux and BSD to Intel processors by getting eveyone to use an Intel compiler. Not much confidence in open source, eh? Don’t you think the philosophy of oss can overcome the loss of ONE tool? And who said gcc is going anywhere? Without GCC being able to be freely distributed, targeted at all systems, opensource development would end. Besides, I always thought it was the people and philosophy that make it work, not the specific tool. Whether or not open source is actually working is a matter of much debate. You think they will be because of Intel? Not likely. Linux, and BSD gain their strength by NOT being tied to a specific Arch. Yeah right Intel only goes after the fringes, except Intel considers x86 and Itanium to be the fringes.
