The core is rotting probably, but there's a lot of other software than the compiler and OS core facilities under GNU which is pretty much thriving, so it's hard to judge and do something about getting back to the drawing board. Given also that Linux is not GNU and that there's a lot of alternatives to GCC and GNU *utils programs.

We can't take GNU without FSF: we can't think of GNU as a corporate brand to embrace as an identity that has to "win" an arms race.
