I don't know the answers, but if we take the kernel Makefile as a

The kernel is a bit special I believe as it is pretty tied to gcc. Is
trace-cmd tied to gcc to such a degree that we want to make it difficult
for people to try different compilers?
True, trace-cmd is tied more to glibc (special features) than gcc.
I just looked at the Makefile for evolution, and it has:
CC = gcc
So it is not limited to just the kernel.
I think we're down to a subjective argument over "correctness". Any of
the resent proposals will work for me.
