    It would be interesting to measure (somehow ;-) whether that "Emacs
    leverage" is enough to preserve GCC's importance.

There is no way to measure such things -- they can't be known
in advance.  What's clear is that we can either _try_ to support
GCC or else give up without a fight.  We can't fight later
if we give up now.
