I think he did. My memory of this is a little vague but the first time I
used Linux sometime in 1992/1993 or so, it required gcc. But Linus did
start developing Linux on Minix (I think he used Gcc 1.37 initially and
then 1.4) and only later on removed Minix apps and replaced then with GPL
apps. Actually one of the first things he ported over when Linux became
self-hosting was gcc and bash.
