It should be able to compile natively the entire OS and all the tools (including the compiler itself).  At times, GCC has been known to have bugs that keep that from working, at least in the "minor" targets like vax.  It's great that some people are still working on curing that.

Hey Paul — totally agree, my biggest gripe with GCC these days is memory footprint.  It’s getting harder and harder to run it within the confined of some minor targets.

Now, whether that reflects on the quality of the compiler is a separate discussion :-)
