That seems unlikely, in the medium-term, at least. Some people have rasied legal issues, which I know nothing about, but the code has not been assigned to the FSF. But, those are just details. Certainly, this is a decision the Steering Committee would have to make, and it hasn't been discussed. I think the SC would be hesitant to make a partial switch for just a few architectures, and I think that, in the near term, it's unlikely that support for all of GCC's architectures will be present in any back end other than the FSF back end. > Competition and exchange of ideas are always a good idea, though.
