GCC is very slow in Windows and not all professional Windows developers use
it. Mostly they'll use VC++ and Intel C++ compiler. Apart from that
wxWidgets supports a wide variety of compilers and it will not be of any use
for most of the users. In case of Linux and Mac developers it's not a big
restriction but for others it's a big show stopper.

My mistake. But not every Windows developers use GDB to debug their
application and not all compilers support the object code that are created
by GCC.
