I'm sure all technical issues can be worked around.  But I'd rather not 
develop what might (or might not) end up being an extensive set of 
micropatches.  I'll stick with 2.1.12 or, more probably, drop GST.
It's the political aspect of requiring GCC, which is not the main 
compiler on some platforms out there, that annoys me.  But my POV isn't 
going to find much support on a GNU list :)
