You haven't missed anything. Yes it could be done. It needs a volunteer 
who can do it. One who:
- Understands the internals of GCC
- Has copyright assignment papers filed with the FSF
- Can implement the recommended way of doing it
- Has the time to do it
- Has the inclination to do it

All of this together is not exactly easy, which is why no one has done 
it yet.
