What about Minix? FreeBSD? GNU HURD?

Seriously, the FSF compiler won't cut it on OS X. Just as one example,
it can't produce fat binaries (i.e., binaries with multiple
architectures) and doesn't support the Apple Blocks extension. You won't
have a lot of fun with FSF GCC as your default compiler.

This is why we are either stuck with Apple's GCC or clang. If the latter
works, that is.
