A fair number of compilers do. The Intel compiler does too.

The reason? The gcc inline asm is as close to a standard there is, and is fairly expressive without being the mess that is MSC. So if you do inline asm at all (and considering the target market for a C compiler, most do), gcc asm is a good thing to aim for.
