No.  It would actually make matters worse for GCC in this case because
the stated intent is to ship without a borrow checker (“There are no
immediate plans for a borrow checker as this is not required to compile
rust code”, <https://rust-gcc.github.io/>, retrieved 2022-07-18).  There
are of course tests for the borrow checker in the Rust test suite, and
those that check for expected compiler errors will fail with GCC.

Thanks,
