IPA to gcc? I couldn't find that feature mentioned on
the gcc roadmap.

Most gcc work is done by volunteers. We can not predict when major new functionality will be contributed by volunteers.

There is no specific IPA project at the moment to talk about, so there is really no good answer to your question. There are ongoing projects which are doing some IPA like things, but they are probably not what you are looking for.

It isn't exactly clear what you are asking for though. IPA is a broad area of compiler algorithms. Most end users don't really care about compiler algorithms though. What they care about is performance of the resulting code. Why are you asking about IPA? -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
