Abdel Benamrouche announced that he has updated the original 0.01 Linux kernel to compile with GCC-4.x, allowing it to run on emulators such as QEMU and Bochs. After applying his series of small patches, Abdel explains that the 0.01 kernel can be built on a system running the 2.6 Linux kernel. He added that he's successfully ported bash-3.2, portions of coreutils-6.9, dietlibc-0.31 (instead of glibc), bin86-0.16.17, make-3.81, ncurses-2.0.7, and vim-7.1 all to run on his modified 0.01 kernel.

How about a C99 compiler existing first? Currently, I don't think there *are* any 100% C99 compliant compilers. Certainly none of the mainstream ones are (MSVC is still C89. GCC has partial support, and so on)
Actually, Sun Studio is 100% C99 compliant. It's also "free" (as in beer). It is available for GNU/Linux and Solaris platforms:

but I'd be more interested in someone porting Linux to be 100% C99 compliant. Perhaps this could be a first step.
