That's not likely to happen soon. :-) Sergio is re-opening our look into reusing GCC. Keith Seitz wrote a GCC plugin to try to let us farm out expression-parsing to the compiler. This has various issues, some because gdb allows various C++ extensions that are useful when debugging; and also g++ was too slow. Even if g++ can't be used we at least hope this time to identify some of the things that make it slow and file a few bug reports...
