I've successfully compiled Dovecot with GCC, but I'm currently using Sun
Studio 11 / Sun C 5.8, and it works well.  I'm using Solaris on SPARC, and
presumably, Sun's compiler does a better job optimizing code for the SPARC,
but that *is* just a presumption (I haven't performed any comparison
benchmarks).
