Unfortunately, that's an area that the FSF wants tight control over; they would be especially cheesed off if we linked to a consultant's page and the consultant also advertised his/her ability to support proprietary compiler development. But the page on fsf.org is outdated and mostly-useless; people are unlikely to find it. It should be possible to do something better and still meet the FSF's requirements (which mainly are that FSF sites don't promote proprietary software or link to pages that do).
