   I'm not sure what constitutes a "smart device" - but in any case, I'm pretty   
   sure Java has a foreseeable future. I'd bet the farm that it'll out live you   
   and me!

   What does that mean? If you're building clang from source, then yes, you'd   
   need a compiler to do that. But most folks just install a binary package for   
   clang for their OS of choice and use that - no other compiler (gcc or   
   otherwise) needed.

   And I wonder why you'd want to.

   Got something against gcc?
