I could've sworn that I saw a headline recently that gcc isn't deterministic. But maybe that was some really weird edge case or a bug.
I'm fairly certain that clang is non-deterministic and I strongly suspect that gcc is too.
Say what you will, Turbo C++ in 1991 was dysfunctional for anything over 5 pages of code, a lot like LLMs a year ago.
