If someone wishes to add a front end (for C#, say) to GCC that works like GCJ, by using a non-GPLv3-compatible external program to compile source code into CLR bytecode that is then treated as input to GCC, then no doubt the FSF can consider changing the exception accordingly. The special case for JVM byte code deals with the issue of GCJ using ECJ to compile Java source. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
