I share your concern. On other systems than Linux, the vendor's compiler
usually is the best, but they often does not support Objective-C.
This probably means that you have to use egcs, which is not always a
good thing.

This mail client will certainly become one of the most important Gnome
applications. Therefore it is vital that it compiles easily on as many 
platforms as possible.
