Correct, because the kernel module is untested, unlikely to build, and
less likely to work, if not compiled with the vendor compiler, currently.
This is unfortunate but true in the current state of things. Perhaps in
the future work can be undertaken to fix it but at the moment I don't have
the resources at my disposal to do so, nor am I aware of anyone
undertaking the work.
