   That's the great freedom of choice of open source software. Maybe it's left   
   out of consideration due to my translation but from my point of view we're   
   talking about different things. You said a system without gcc is a toy. But   
   now i see that your are talking about your computer systems only.   
      
   I was talking about servers in general. The job of a server is to provide   
   service for specific task(s). A file server have to serve files, a web server   
   have to deliver webpages.

   That's fine but the next time please don't talk about "anything" if you're   
   talking about "your" systems. I see and understand why "your" systems need a   
   dev environment but that is not required for "any" existing system.   
      
   Regards
