Does such a company exist for the rest of gcc? Is there some failure in 
gcc (other than technical support) that has not been addressed by the 
existing developers? While a third-party is certainly free to provide 
support for GCC, in general this desire sounds to me as if it runs 
counter to the concept of OSS. For better and worse.
