Does using gcc to compile a library to a shared object for PHP count? It is compilation.l although not a kernel.
No...heck, I remember a time when virtually all software installs started with tar xzf and make...
... if one was lucky. In some cases all one got was a 'configure.in' and a 'Makefile.in'.
Oh, to dream of autoconf!
That is one thing I enjoyed about computing 30 years ago. The line between writing code and installing/maintaining a system was very blurred. Sysadmins had to know how to write and compile C. Heck, just compiling C was an art form in itself, as you spend time ifdeffing, setting which libraries to link, etc.
^ and now look what we get; bloated kernels and applications. That's progress for ya.
Anyone for DSL?
