>I have a different fear: that gcc will become increasing irrelevant, as more and more new

Even if competitors gain mindshare, GCC will remain the IE of compilers: we may feel strongly
about it, but anyone desiring an audience will have to respect and compile against GCC for the
foreseeable future.
