I know that a few systems don't have ANSI C compilers. I even knew you
were going to mention HPUX. I don't think that is a good enough reason to
keep gcc 10 years in the past.
HP is an exception. Other vendors ship a modern compiler or none at all.
Solaris 2.x does not have ANY bundled C compiler but gcc is still viable on
that system. Users without the Sun compiler can get gcc in binary form.
