Did you not see the post I made a few days ago pointing to the URL of the
Intel document where they claim their compiler will build the kernel?

As for the rest of the GNU toolchain, he's probably right, though replacing
GNU make, GNU ld, etc. would be comparatively simpler.

That still doesn't give the midwife the right to name the baby. No way in
hell am I going to stand for renaming Hercules to GNU/Hercules, even if it,
too, currently only builds with gcc (we haven't tried the Intel compiler on
it yet).
