Why would you use Linux & GCC on a safety-critical application anyhow... It will be an incredible painful and time-consuming process to ensure that the tool lives up to MISRA, let alone Linux itself. For example, MISRA mentiones that the maker of the tool should have a quality system, validation activities etc etc. How you can say that a semi-hobbyist open-source compiler lives up to that, I have no idea.
