One word -- Solaris ;)

At least OS/X will have a freely-downloadable/install-from-free-CD
compiler. Solaris had *none* apart from their big-bucks commercial
offering until GNU got around to porting gcc, and even then it was a bitch
to install and gcc's output on Sun processors wasn't great. (It's
probably improved since then tho'),
