I would look at it this way: Why should a professional developer

in the US try to make GCC work on anything less than this machine?
It's clearly not cost-effective to spend any significant time doing
so.
My point of view is exactly reverse :-) Why should a developer not
keep GCC
working on such a machine?
Because it's a waste of the developer's time?
Err... And under what kind of logic is getting the compiler slower
not a waste of time for every GCC developer (that has to bootstrap and
test the whole thing for every patch) and user (that runs GCC to build
their own applications).
