Yep, and it works great.  :)  You can even download packages compiled
with the native compiler, from http://gnome.normnet.org/files/

You will need bzip2, glib, and gtk packages to get gtk working.

You need to run configure like:  CC=cc CFLAGS=-fast ./configure ...

All compile and link flags and such are passed as environment variables,
not command line options.

BTW, this isn't really related to gtk/glib development, so maybe
gtk-list or gtk-bugs would be more appropriate...
