Like many people it seems I've read the gcc lists for many years but
never contributed. I am an embedded developer using GCC on x86 and ARM.
- GCC works really well, i've never found a serious GCC bug so there is
nothing that i have had to fix. No "itch to scratch".
- When i modified GCC for C++ support on a propitiatory RTOS (Nucleus),
it was a bit of a bodge so i knew it would not get accepted, but it
works well enough for me.
- I have reported bugs mostly to do with cross compiling but the proper
fix is often more complex than my 5 minute hack to build the cross
compiler, you generally only build these things once so its a lot of
effort for a small gain.
