wrong - you are under the mistaken impression that the GNU project has 
developed and maintains the GNU toolchain. That is not correct. Many 
individuals have done and are doing this - the only thing is that some of them 
use the 'GNU' word. In fact, if I am not mistaken, Redhat maintains and 
develops a good part of it. So without RMS and without GNU, the toolchain 
would still exist and linux would still flourish. As far as I can see, those 
projects that are directly developed and maintained by the GNU project do not 
work properly and are mostly useless - like hurd.
