At the expense of forcing people that would love to use GCC to produce open-source tools and research, into using LLVM. See the email thread I linked for several such examples. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00106.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00... https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00125.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00... https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00088.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00... https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-02/msg00640.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-02/msg00... https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-02/msg00648.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-02/msg00... Most compiler research and tooling development now happens in the LLVM ecosystem, precisely because they dragged their feet for so long.
