One thing I've wondered for some time is why don't the Linux developers modify the compiler to suit their needs better.
At that project scale, wouldn't it start making sense to start solving problems like "If it were possible to write a list-traversal macro that could declare its own iterator [...]" by adding the functionality you want to GCC?
