   Odd you should say that, since GCC is a crucial component in the fact that   
   so much Free Software is available and supported on two dozen different   
   major processor architectures. Basically, if GCC will compile for it, Linux   
   and other Free Software will run on it.   
      
   Contrast Microsoft’s Visual Studio tools, which are confined to just one   
   measly architecture.
