I think there's no chance that this will ever be accepted.
The only use for this I can see is to have a proprietary
compiler use the GNU front ends to (1) parse languages that
the proprietary compiler can't handle or (2) parse GNU C
extensions common in free software or (3) avoid developing
a proper GCC machine description for a new processor or
(4) avoid contributing significant optimizations already
present in a vendor compiler.
All of which are goals we neither support nor facilitate.
