I've seen this argument before. Unfortunately it seems reasonable enough on the surface, and I actually bought into it much to may later regret. My experience is that gcc often produces buggy code, and if gcc is not _the_ compiler for that platform, those bugs do not get fixed. Specifically, I have had lots of problems with gcc and IRIX. If you want to write portable code, you have to take into account different operating systems _and_ different compilers. Writing your code for just a single compiler is almost as bad as writing your code for just a single operating system.
