I've been disgruntled lately as I was reading GCC is supposed to be a 
bitch to read!
This makes it harder to be used in non-free projects, they want to avoid 
"piping off"
GCCs forms of data or "shimmying" it off to another program, I joined 
this mailing list in fact
because I could find no information on the matter and if this is true 
this is quite depressing.
The thought it is that political is the depressing part, but I can see 
the point. Urgh it's a nasty issue and
has been talked to death - I am told - where can I read what's been said 
already!
BTW I am an eager potential contributor but really GCC is BIG!
