Hi to all,

I have one question:

Why does the linux kernel needs GCC for compiling. ?

please mail me what are the reasons that only gcc is used to compile the
kernel ?

If i want to use a compiler other than gcc, how much time it will take to
port the assembly code to the other compilers assembly code ?.

please help,

with best regards,
mahadev
