You can change the question as often as you wish in order to escape the
answer to the original question.....  I won't play along....

No, I didn't say that actually -- I said, paraphrasing here, that
without changes it probably needs to be compiled with GCC for now,
though that wasn't always the case.  That was based on a report by
someone not terribly familiar with the language specific differences of
various compilers trying to compile the current code (for some
unspecified definition of "current" ;-) using another compiler.

I suggested that it's probably not that hard to port it to some other
compiler, esp. given that it hasn't really had all that long to degrade
into GCC-only code.
