"Correct" C code as in portable C code?  Standards compliant so it's portable 
to other compilers?

The linux kernel is compiled on gcc.  It always has been.  Specific versions 
of the kernel have a specific range of "known working" gcc versions that in 
the past have produced a functional result.  gcc is -ALLOWED- to compile code 
the way Borland, Watcom, or Microsoft C compilers do.  Assuming somebody 
wants to rewrite gcc from scratch and still call the result gcc...

Standards are fun, but we don't even thread posixly yet...
