From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Now if only gccrs would mature soon!
LLVM-based is fine for most case, but I bet a lot of people would want to stick with gcc for compiling the kernel.
For that usecase
rustc_codegen_gccworks too and is much more likely to be mature soon.It seems to still require LLVM, tho
What makes you think that? The whole point of it is to create a
rustcbackend that useslibgccjitinstead of LLVM.
