Good question.

While I was at DreamWorks about a year and a half ago, I worked down the
hall from Stan Lippman.  A lot of our in-house C++ code was being ported
to Linux and there were some issues with GNU's compiler not doing C++
things quite the way they should be.  I don't remember the details (I'm
not a C++ programmer and wasn't directly affected), but I don't think
Stan ever got anywhere with them.  The funny part was that this lack of
progress was not based on them ignoring him.  They just had
philisophical differences as to how C++ should behave.

I mean, it's not like Stan Lippman would know anything about C++, right?

YMMV.
