GCC is very large and growing and the number of GCC developers is very very
small and not growing. There are thousands of open bugs, thus developers need
to prioritize. If something was truly pretty important, someone would have
stepped up (or paid someone) to fix it. There is a 60 lines patch that fixes
most of the testcases here and could serve as inspiration to solve the rest.
The person who produced the patch left the work unfinished. Someone needs to
finish it:

It is a simple as that.
