Here's an idea:

fuzzers like csmith are fairly good at finding compiler bugs.  But they
only generate standard C, but no extensions. gcc has many extensions,
which are not covered. It would be good to extend a fuzzer like csmith
to fuzz extensions like OpenMP, __attributes__, vector
extensions, etc. Then run the fuzzer and report
compiler bugs.

I'm not a seasoned gcc contributor, but would be willing to mentor
such a project.
