I finally played with Google and found a link to the GCC resolution of
the issue
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-05/msg00537.html
(I don't know what happens to the respective C and C++ committee DRs.)
I guess, that still leaves open the question of bootstrapping GCC with
a compiler that does something else.
And apologies to Mark for having represented exactly the opposite of
