  Before using gcc your should read the license. If you compile and link
using their library you must make the source of your program available
to the public for three years. That may not be desirable in all cases.

  gcc is not bug free, but it is about as clean as most commercial
compilers. It has *deferent* bugs, not *more* bugs.
