Discounting the Windows animals, it looks like the xlc animals are
our only remaining ones that use anything except gcc or clang.
That feels uncomfortably like a compiler monoculture to me, so
I can understand the reasoning for keeping hornet/mandrill going.
Still, maybe we should just accept the fact that gcc/clang have
outcompeted everything else in the C compiler universe. It's
getting hard to imagine that anyone would bring out some new product
that didn't try to be bug-compatible with gcc, for precisely the
reason you mention.
