But my question still stands. Does anybody actually use any non- GCC compiler for userspace in Linux?

At least in the domain of HPC, I've seen people which were compiling mostly *everything* with the intel compiler (x86 and ia64) for performance reason. So... yes userspace is sometimes compiled with non-GCC compiler :-)

Ok, well, the Intel compiler actually ends up emulating GCC and supports most of its extensions; supposedly it can even be used to compile the kernel sources, as per include/linux/compiler-intel.h. (I don't know how recently this has been tested, though) So does anybody compile userspace under anything other than GCC or Intel compilers? Do any such compilers even exist?

Cheers,
