GCC contains a file called config/sol2.h:

/* Operating system specific defines to be used when targeting GCC for any
   Solaris 2 system.
   Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

What does that say to the public?  It says you can use gcc on a non-free
operating system.

How's it feel to be a hypocrite?

What about

     gcc/config/rs6000/aix.h
     gcc/config/vax/vms.h

Or how about gcc/config/i386/win32.h:

/* Operating system specific defines to be used when targeting GCC for
   hosting on Windows NT 3.x, using a Unix style C library and tools,
   as distinct from winnt.h, which is used to build GCC for use with a
   windows style library and tool set and uses the Microsoft tools.
   Copyright (C) 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002

And hordes -- thousands upon thousands -- of #ifdef's and other crap
to support the Windows ABI.

I note that date of 1995 on the above file.  That's around the last time
when you were around actually touching code, right?

Richard, you are a total hypocrite.  You are in here creating a fuss about
our software, saying it is non-free, when you are doing exactly the same
thing yourself.
