I'm not sure how you got to that conclusion. People have already named
several non-GCC compilers that are used; and most of the users of
commercial compilers won't be reading this list.
If you want glibc to ever include these things, they had better be
portable C and work without GCC. Otherwise it's a non-starter.
Only GCC may be used to build glibc, but it deliberately supports any
conforming C compiler to build userspace code.
