What type of code does the compiler spit out? Is it kernel code or is it specific to say KDE or GNOME?

It uses the ELF object file format, if that's what you're asking.

There is absolutely nothing in the compiler that even knows what KDE or GNOME is, nor does the compiler know anything about the kernel.

The gfxlib uses generic X11 plus some common X extensions to do its job - no window manager-specific code.

DrV, You forgot to mention Keebler.
