Well it is an *intriguing* way to learn a platform...!   o_O

With regards to gcc, as handy as it is it *does* bring a lot of baggage  
with it.  Considering it's going to be used primarily in-house and on a  
single hardware spec, "rolling your own" doesn't have the scare factor  
it might otherwise have.  Besides sometimes starting from fresh does  
have it's advantages rather than trying to improve an existing code  
base.  Anyway, I'm always for a developer getting a little brave and  
exploring a different route...
