oof, don't want to get quoted on that one out of context:-)
If the VENDOR uses Intel's compiler, that is goodness,
and it means that the ASL interpreter used in Linux will
not trip over various implementation issues in other compilers.

However, if the USER re-builds their firmware, with Intel's compiler
(or any other, for that matter), their system can not be supported
by the system vendor, or any Linux vendor either.
