Not a religion, whatever works for you. Notice though that the kernel and applications need some more that only the extensions. All of it (including the assembler) is written supposing caller save and other inner specifics of kencc that would need to be dealt with when compiling for gcc. It would be a port, not only a recompilation. G.
