I am a consultant to Lucent, where he works (different site though)
and believe me, its a political thing. Perhaps Lucent, being formerly
Bell Labs, having invented C and C++, is jealous of anyone giving away
a compiler. I do not know, but it seems to be an insurmountable
obstacle to be allowed to use Gnu compilers to compile code that gets
shipped to customers. I really have not heard a good reason, but I
know ther is great resistance there. :-(
