Well David here is an interesting quote: IMO the most notorious case is how the gcc development is held hostage by Edelsohn and maybe IBM as a whole by requesting that everything always works perfectly well on AIX. How often has one seen "this patch breaks AIX, back it out". It cannot reasonably be expected that everybody tests on AIX. It is an proprietary OS running on proprietary and expensive hardware which not many people have access to. The overall development speed could be significantly improved by dropping the AIX requirement which, in some form or another, has been agreed upon by the steering committee. AIX is irrelevant in general today, i.e., the situation changed. And the people in the steering committee are too nice to just tell the very small minority causing the problem to take a hike. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32865
