In fact, I'm actively looking for alternatives to GCC (and LLVM) because I cannot trust a GCC anymore and I cannot review each and every change. I won't contribute my port and in general will suggest people to look for alternatives. But that's not a problem for you, because you do not actually care about real developers and users, just about the US corporations you effectively mentioned and now control several GNU projects: > someone in the public relations > department at IBM, Google, Facebook, ARM, or other big supporters of > the project will get the impression ... As you explained, GCC itself is completelly controlled by few US corporations with strong and long term ties with the US DoD. For sure, it's a big software. And a big threat to everybody outside the US. Thanks for coming out. Giacomo
