Kerninghan/Ritchie do not cover gcc as such - even though most of their
examples are take from a UNIX system and some are based on UNIX
systems. "The C Programming Language" is IMHO a book to learn the
basics from.
It's not the book you want to read to assist you in porting software
from one system to another. For special needs regarding Linux systems
refer to the library's info-documentation.
