They did bot compile the whole linux, mind you, just an absolute minimal kernel.

Doing a real compiler to be used by humans is difficult. Doing a compiler that “gets the thing done” is a different thing.

Nowhere did I imply it is production-ready. I said "working compiler" and by definition Claude built one since they booted up the kernel.
