How would the linux kernel be developed without the gnu development tools?
* GNU make: Automation tool for compilation and build;
* GNU Compiler Collection (GCC): Suite of compilers for several programming
languages;
* GNU Binutils: Suite of tools including linker, assembler and other tools;
* GNU Bison: Parser generator
* GNU m4: m4 macro processor
* GNU Debugger (GDB): Code debugging tool;
* GNU build system (autotools):
o Autoconf
o Autoheader
o Automake
o Libtool
Amongst others, apparently (list taken from wikipedia). Is it possible
(feasible) to bypass these "vital" tools with another set of tools, that you'll
be writing shortly after responding to this post?
