I made a serious (with tongue a tad in cheek) set of suggestions 
specific to GCC, and in response to comments made herein by others. 
There is a sincere need to address these issues, which are very 
GCC-specific; few other packages have the breadth and depth of GCC, 
across platforms and users. Therefore, this seems to be an appropriate 
venue.
