If someone wishes to add a front end (for C#, say) to GCC that works like
GCJ, by using a non-GPLv3-compatible external program to compile source
code into CLR bytecode that is then treated as input to GCC, then no doubt
the FSF can consider changing the exception accordingly. The special case
for JVM byte code deals with the issue of GCJ using ECJ to compile Java
source.
