Many thanks for all the excellent replies. They confirmed what I
suspected - that with its current meaning, "validated compiler" does not
relieve you of V&V effort for safety critical systems (we're working to
STANAG 4404, a NATO standard - seems to be more pragmatic than DO-178B
or Def Stan 00-55). What I wasn't sure of was if there was any added
value to using one at all (even if only perceived). It seems not if you
use a known good compiler anyway.
