It's not the responsibility of the GCC community or any of its members to correct the misconceptions of any or all third parties, and never had been. There is no more responsibility to correct LSB's mistakes than to correct misconceptions about the ABI written in a random webpage, student project or magazine article. Both have exactly the same status as irrelevant to GCC unless and until GCC chooses to treat them as relevant. Millions of people write huge amounts of inaccurate information about things they don't understand and those who understand them have no responsibility to correct the information; the LSB and the IA32 GNU/Linux ABI is just one random such case among millions, with no special status. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38496
