The reverse is more necessary: an option "NOTGCC" that pulls support
out of the Attics for all the functions that depend on gcc features
(mostly ones with inline asm).  I wouldn't worry about it until we
have a non-gcc compiler.  Try compiling the kernel with lcc or lint
to see how much it depends on gcc.
