3 There are ebuilds for non-gcc compilers. There's no support in using them for
4 anything like building stuff. Let's think to all the append-flags there are
5 in the tree. This is not going to make the support any less working. There's
6 no project maintaining support for icc and the like.

11 Uhm, If you look at the function itself you can see that I drop the stderr
12 output and I just care about the other part. The flags used are the ones set
13 by the user with the exclusion of -E -dM that are, afaik, standard unix
14 compiler options like -c and -o.. if the compiler does not support those,
15 it's unlikely it can actually do anything useful in Gentoo.
16 And anyway it cannot "break", it will just report that no extensions are
17 available.
