hmm, IMHO that only implies that it supports the GNU C dialect.
but what about all the command line options ?

Okay, the project claims to support GCC command line options. But
I have no idea how reliable this is (especially when it comes to
shared libraries, which might have different semantics on LLVM).

And what about other compilers that define __GNUC__ ?

Perhaps we should add explicit tests for them.
