GCC developers test patches according to the guidelines at:
  http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html

Adding a new compiler to the collection is a different thing.  We must have 
some evidences that it will work reasonably well on (at least) primary and 
secondary platforms, so a good coverage of architecture types is required.
