    Can Gentoo be configured to use it? Sounds like it would complement that OS perfectly.
    Yes. The user can set the default CC, LD, CFLAGS, and LDFLAGS for your system, or specific setting for specific packages. Also, some packages (like firefox) have a USE flag to build with a different compiler and/or linker, with even less effort.

        this usually requires changes to source code. like adding export macros to public symbols
