RMS says "freedom" is worth sacrificing functionality for. GCC is a monolithic mess of shit that is virtually impossible to debug, and produces incorrect code very frequently. Being forced into a terrible architecture where everything is smushed into everything else just to prevent people from being able to use gcc as a front end and something else as a backend is absolutely a case of making the code worse for the sake of trying to further a political agenda.

This is the “RMS loophole” in the GPL. In principle you have the right to modify GCC to suit yourself; in practice, the barrier to entry is too high.

Please take your FUD and go elsewhere.
