Comment (by mojca@…):

 Luckily I don't know enough about ROOT to be able to judge with whom I
 disagree. Jeremy's opinion makes more sense to me (but then again I don't
 know enough about the internals to understand why Chris might be right ;)

 This disagreement slightly reminds me on MacPorts insisting to always use
 the same compiler (and trying to avoid using `gcc` and the non-native
 `libstdc++/libc++`), saying that all the deviations from that are
 unsupported ... and users or developers trying to claim that their
 software must be compiled with X for reason Y (my favourite being a
 developer hardcoding `gcc` and saying that I need to make a symlink like
 `$[SOME]PATH/gcc -> /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.8` if I really want to use
 another version of gcc; that no other compiler but gcc is supported). For
 MacPorts developers it is hard to explain why compiling with `gcc` is not
 recommended. And maybe in a similar way it's difficult for ROOT developers
 to explain why they are not willing to support ROOT being compiled with
 `gcc`, followed by trying to use `clang-3.5` for real work. I strongly
 suspect that ROOT insisting on using exactly the same compiler has pretty
 much the same reasons as MacPorts trying to use the same compiler for
 building all ports.

 But something makes me believe that a single, built-in compiler, could
 probably be used for everything if set up properly.

 I opened a ticket to ask about the possibility for implementing that.
 Let's see what they respond:
