I understand Alfred's point, but I found the wording quite funny. The
_definition_ of the GNU project is that it is non-UNIX ;-)
You should note that, although Shap has expressed frustration about

there were a better compiler for the work he's doing, he'd be using it.

Shap, I think that's a bit harsh. Remember, the l4-hurd people have been
*very* generous in letting you use their mailing list to organize your
lecture notes for this year's Microkernel Architecture and Design course
