I hope I am viewed as an impartial but interested third party. I
would really like to see this happen. I did not know about gpc until
a few weeks ago when I did a google search. I may be mistaken but I
think the TeX community would be very interested in a GNU based Pascal.
I am aware

I don't believe that, they would just say, oh, it is broken or oh,
it is not a primary language or whatever excuse.
You probably don't follow GCC development enough.

Then waht is the problem with the daily maintenance you mention? Maybe
there are other ways to make life easier for the gpc folks if you
would be more specific about the problems you apparently have.

The GNU Pasal compiler http://www.gnu-pascal.de is maintained as a
separate back-end project. The compiler can be built with gcc-2.8.1 up
to gcc-3.4.x and preliminary support for gcc-4.0 was recently added
(http://www.gnu-pascal.de/crystal/gpc/en/thread13456.html). A
regular question is why
could help fix them, instead of forcing people to stick to
older backends ;-)

I don't think this is a good idea. You are either part of the compiler
or you aren't. Front ends that are only partially

backend-end bugs is what is actually forcing people. And even patches

It seems to me that integrating gpc would _reduce_ the burden on the
