I mean, I'm guessing here, but wouldn't simplest way be starting mid-way in the existing Rust compiler to port an intermediate language to GCC? Straight-up compile it to GCC C or whatever GCC does internally. That way, you get the parsing, analysis, etc for free plus any improvements they make. Lots of other languages used this approach.

I'm pretty sure mrustc isn't targeting GCC as a backend, but I'm not sure.

I don't know what approach is being taken by the person working on a GCC backend, but it's entirely possible what you've described is what they're doing.

I'm pretty sure your statement is somewhat paradoxical :)
