Requesting more clarity here please. I can't tell what is open or closed in your description: the compiler source, the source the compiler is compiling, or both, or neither. It sounds like you're describing an obscure snd dastardly security hole. I accept that such things are possible. My gosh, look at what crackers go through to do their evil. My trust goes to the source that the entire world can peruse. If it's evil it will be found - at least that is what my trust is based on.
