I'd also suggesting contacting the GCC SC to see what their reaction

Personally, I'm not necessarily convinced that adding Pascal to GCC is
a good idea. I like Pascal just fine, but because every new language
adds to the load on everyone. (In my ideal world, we'd have stable
enough interfaces that it was easy to maintain front ends separately
from the rest of the compiler, but, though I've been extolling that
vision for years, I've made little progress in realizing it...)
So, the changes for 4.0/4.1 still don't help the situation enough? Or is
it too early to tell?
Or would you just want to make sure that the Pascal maintainers play "by
the rules, as everybody else", a la Ada?
