GCC contains a file called config/sol2.h:
/* Operating system specific defines to be used when targeting GCC for any

   Solaris 2 system.

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.

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.
