In fact it's also a technical problem. GCC is not design to fit in

Backend and frontend are tightly coupled to prevent creation of

I doubt that is really the reason, since GCC 4.5 (still under
development) got a plugin system that makes replacing its backend
very easy. In fact, people are now working on an LLVM backend for
GCC (as opposed to a GCC-frontend for LLVM, as with llvm-gcc) using
this plugin system, see http://dragonegg.llvm.org/
That''s not incompatible with what I said:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GCC_Plugins
"So, how do we permit plugins while prohibiting proprietary plugins,
and how do we do it while staying within the bounds of copyright law
which is the basis of the GPL?"
