The original poster here. There is a popular belief that GCC made a strategic decision to make it harder to embed to thwart proprietary softwares and this is all RMS's fault. This posting shows that it's partly false, as RMS would like to accept the proposal if he had seen the proposal earlier (I assume he received but wasn't aware of the actual proposal). I was unaware of this posting before, was amused, checked that there are no recent resubmissions, and submitted. I don't expect you to believe me though.
