	Maybe you should remind yourself of GCC's Mission Statement:

GCC development is a part of the GNU Project, aiming to improve the
compiler used in the GNU system including the GNU/Linux variant. The GCC
development effort uses an open development environment and supports many
other platforms in order to foster a world-class optimizing compiler, to
attract a larger team of developers, to ensure that GCC and the GNU system
work on multiple architectures and diverse environments, and to more
thoroughly test and extend the features of GCC.


We have motivation to support non-GNU, non-Unix, non-ASCII platforms.  If
we decide that an existing, working, useful target is expendible, where
does it end?
