You know that porting to gcc-4 is hard work (widely changed backend infracstructure), more than changing a few offsets in a patch file? Waldek is working on it, but it will not happen "just so" ... He will surely announce it when he's ready.

By the way... are there plans to make GPC an official part of GCC?

I am working on it. I have a preliminary patch, which I can provide to anybody who _really_ want it. However it does not work. I have written in a private mail to Frank:
: ATM gpc with 4.0 backend can not bootstrap (I get ICE compiling RTS). I : have run testsuite using RTS compiled using 3.4.3 backend -- on i386 I : get slightly more then 30 test failures. Some are minor but some other : are really critical.
Situation now is similar to the situation in June, I made some progress but the 4.0 port still requires significant effort (and I was busy with other things). I will announce when the port is ready.
