- As for 'my' GCC, I myself am on a mac, using Symantec's Think C environment,
- but that doesn't change the fact that a supported GCC (and other Gnu Utils)
- would be a Good Thing for the mac community. For mac to still be singled
- out for practices they have stopped, while other companies do far worse
- daily (a certain corporation starting with 'M' comes to mind), is unfair
- and hypocritical.
