Here's a quote by Dr. Gutmann that always makes me laugh. He's talking 
about Cryptlib, which is his crypto library. It was one of the earliest 
free and open libraries 
(http://cryptlib.mbsks.franken.narkive.com/PCehp90Q/use-cc-instead-of-gcc#post2):

    There's a historic reason for cryptlib's attempt to use gcc if at all
    possible, which was that commercial vendors have traditionally shipped 
truly
    ghastly C compilers (or, in Sun's case, a non-C compiler that pretended 
to be
    a compiler so you had to use all sorts of trickery to determine whether 
there
    was a real compiler present or not).
