No. It's just that the developers build and test using the vendor's
compiler (which sometimes is gcc). So if you're on HP-UX, builds with
the HP-UX ANSI compiler are known to work and that OS/compiler
combination can be supported. If you use gcc, the code should compile
and run OK -- why not try it? On platforms where gcc isn't the
standard compiler, gcc can't be supported so easily because it depends
on too many variables like whether you've installed gcc correctly,
what version of gcc you've used, etc, etc. Just because builds with
gcc aren't supported on some platforms doesn't mean they won't work.
And if there are build problems, you can't expect as much help as if
the problem was with a "supported" combination of OS and compiler.
