I have to agree with Johann. The FSF copyright assignment only has to be done
once, but if it can't be done then that is a big showstopper.
The other main issue, that I see at least, are the testing requirements.
Getting your (non-trivial) patch tested enough to have it committed takes just
the right setup, and it can't be done on Windows (due to the usage of the
dejagnu test system). The GCC regression test suite is big and takes a while to
run.
