The people like hjl could do that right now. For WNT, there are people
doing that (packaging precompiled gcc together with precompiled
libraries). However, they contribute their work back to gcc because
that makes their lifes simpler. For Linux, nobody stepped forward so
far. For Solaris and the others, I believe it is impossible to find
volunteers with the necessary expertise, except for the regular gcc
contributors.
