Even with all the best of intentions, once the x86 architectures (which
cover the bulk of the user and developer mass) migrate to a different
toolchain, the risk of bitrot in the GNU toolchain decomes non-negligible.
And once it breaks, there may not be the critical mass to repair it.
This is basically what happened to the Alpha.
