----------
Why does this surprise you?  I have programs written in C, Fortran,
As, Lisp, and other languages which all produce binaries which
work happily on the same computer, even though they are totally
incompatible with each others compilers.

It is always better to make source available as well as executables,
(perhaps offering the sources by mail, to reduce net costs), but
executables still offer the widest distribution of the program's
functionality.
