It's over, GCC is finished

And they don't like what they see:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2013-01/msg00313.html

GCC's future looks bleak, in fact there won't be a future at all because GCC is deprecated.

This isn't the first time GCC has been deprecated by a superior project but it will be the first time the FSF won't be able to adopt the superior project as the new GCC.

Fact: GCC is defective by design.
Fact: GCC is obsolete.
Fact: GCC is deprecated.

There aren't any other compilers that will compile code to my purposes. LLVM is improving year by year but it still needs more work, it wouldn't compile my older code properly and I had to change it to make it to compile.

RMS didn't believe anybody would steal GCC. His concern was that a more modular design for GCC would make it easier for proprietary software writers to make proprietary extensions to GCC. A modular structure is a more complex structure but this structure allows people to focus more clearly on individual sections of the system. GCC's current structure is simpler, but it also means that people need to account for larger sections of the system to comprehend it. In practise, it's more difficult to work with GCC's 'simple' backend than LLVM's modular backend because of sheer volume of information to take into account.
