GNU+Linux is the only future of both GNU and Linux Android is Linux without GNU, so it's not hard to imagine a different future (whether it's desirable is a different question). Android has no GNU in user space -- it's almost all Apache and BSD licensed. And I'm pretty sure the build toolchain is Clang and not GCC. Though I hope the values of GNU continue to be important in the software world. Linux and GNU have different viewpoints and I think we need them both. |

Yes, Google took the effort of making Linux compilable with clang, then they deprecated gcc and with the latest NDK release (R18) gcc has gotten finally the boot from Android.
