http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Kernel_%26_Ha... says GCCE support is in progress. Seems to me like a good thing that they got the sources out earlier rather than waiting until it can be compiled by GCC.
Given that for years the codebase has been built by a commercial compiler there is bound to be significant amount of work to be done to remove all the RVCT-isms.
Besides they might be hoping once the source is out in the open, may be people will come forward and contribute build-with-GCC patches. (Gotta check though if they are readily accepting patches from outside contributors.)

Just to clarify - yes we are readily accepting any code changes to convert to gcc, along with any code changes. We are trying to build a vibrant community.
We also try to use open source internally where possible, and I'm aiming to increase this. See http://iansblog.jandi.co.uk/2009/10/open-source-inside.html for a few more details.
