I think that having all GCC developers build/test all languages all the 
time is overkill.  I'm all for testing, and I certainly think that 
people should make an effort to test languages that it seems like their 
paches might be likely to impact (e.g., major C++ changes are likely to 
affect Objectie-C++), but adding hours to everyones build/test cycles 
seems like a bad tradeoff.  Instead, people who break Ada, 
Objective-C++, etc., should be responsible to requests to fix the 
breakage, and willing to revert their patches if no fix is immediately 
found.
