I asked RMS about such a feature and he doesn't want nor a CIL front-end 
nor a CIL back-end to GCC.  :-( 

However he can't stop the way GCC evolves anymore:  eg. GCC2C maintained 
by Sun.com or Open64 that dumps the GCC's IRs via the WHIRL representation...

For the moment only the C and C++ front-ends are lowered into GIMPLE.  
Other function-at-a-time languages will go there sooner or later.  
This will also provide an optimizer for CIL, and we could even imagine a 
CIL to CIL optimizer.
