Jilm,

I think it would be more productive if you used your Linux expertise to try
and fix the code so that it would work with your favourite compiler (and share
your work with everybody, which will no doubt make you a hero in many's eyes),
rather than bark at the developers for not doing what you want them to do for
you, and stooping to smurf threats. This email makes you sound more like a
script kiddie who can't code a single line of assembly than a Linux
consultant.
