• Pascal integration as a release goal for GCC 4.1

You forget that it is not clear if the gpc people actually want this. I don't see the GNU Pascal maintainers in this discussion.

Since I started this whole thread off in the GPC list... What I don't fully understand is (and anybody correct me if I'm wrong):

1. From what I can tell, it looks like that GPC is a part of the GNU project. http://gnu-pascal.de/gpc/h-gnu.html 2. So is GCC (obvious). 3. At one point, there was an item under the "GNU Help Wanted" list on Savannah: http://savannah.gnu.org/people/?group=tasklist, that asked for new languages for GCC. Unfortunately, I don't see this item there now.

So why isn't GPC integrated? If the FSF has the copyright for the Pascal front-end, why can't anybody just take the available patches and start moving them over and getting them worked up?
