Years ago I looked at GCC and considered using it as
a basis for what I'm working on, but after spending a
few months working with the code, concluded it wouldn't
make a good basis for my project. Perhaps you are being
generous about it here, but I can't recommend anyone join
that project. I certainly hope Clang is superior to GCC in
many ways.
