Apart from all the points that Laurent raised in a previous email, lack of test results in some platforms does not mean that GCC developers are uninterested on supporting those platforms and much less that they are against supporting those platforms. The GCC community haven't forbidden anyone from contributing to support any platform in GCC. GCC supports whatever the people that are willing to contribute (or are paid to contribute) want to support. Exactly like LLVM. It is easy to see why gnu/linux is more supported than other platforms in GCC, and why the same is true for darwin in LLVM. Cheers, Manuel.
