Yup.. subject has been brought up several times.  The problem is to be 
integrated into the official gnu gcc source tree copyright has to be 
signed over to the fsf.  That's a showstopper, unfortunatly.  IMHO, that's 
a draconian policy, but it's RMS's right to set those policies for 
software under the FSF umbrella no matter how much I think it hurts/sucks.

Thankfully, building GDC out of tree like it is today is very very easy.

Later,
