I finally played with Google and found a link to the GCC resolution of
the issue 

     http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-05/msg00537.html

(I don't know what happens to the respective C and C++ committee DRs.)

I guess, that still leaves open the question of bootstrapping GCC with
a compiler that does something else.

And apologies to Mark for having represented exactly the opposite of
this position.
