hope core GCC developers and potential contributors see it that way.
My dream for GCC is to beat LLVM+CLANG, not emulate it.

I agree, and I would even add that if LLVM+CLANG happens to win, it is not such a big deal. Free software (as an ideal, and as a practice) is more important than individual lines of code.

What is important is the existence of good free compilers, and having fun to hack inside them.

Cheers.
