I don't know, but if it had made sense I would probably have
remembered. But they discussed just about every free and nonfree C
compiler and how it could/would/should help them get a kernel compiled
faster.
(Somebody complained that it took him 20 minutes to compile a kernel,
that was unacceptable to him :-)
Anyway, point is that they are complaining...
