I think people are working on getting tinycc to compile an un-modified
kernel, and I think LLVM is close-ish, also some BSD guys are working
on PCC so it might be able to compile the kernel in the
(distant?)future.

It concerns me a little that GCC is the only OSS compiler that can
compile the kernel.
