| 8 | Yes, Linux kernel has to be built by gcc at the moment. Last time I |
| 9 | checked it, the kernel source is hardcoded to use gcc, so changing cc |
| 10 | won't affect it. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Other than the kernel, non-gcc compilers should work just fine in |
| 13 | userland. FWIW, I've tried rebuilding @world with clang on my host; |
| 14 | only two packages failed and they are very easy to fix [1]. |
