I wondered if the supported toolset base was just too big. Wouldnt it have been possible to standardise on a single (or maybe 2) "good" compiler toolset on each platform, and relax restrictions which are there because of others? If someone wants to build Mozilla, then they have to get the toolset. Whether this costs or not depends on whether the GNU toolset is one of the "good" ones! :)
