Even GCC folks are starting to come to the realization that
it's not worth the developer time to squander it on maintaining
hobby boxes. For the most part, GCC developers want good
development tools and they don't find them on featureless
ancient boxes. Also, if you really want to know the GCC position,
post it to the GCC steering committee folks. :-)
