I wonder what it would have taken to start contributing blocks support to GCC.

Some already tried: http://anzwix.com/a/FreeBSD/GccAddSupportForApplesBlockExten... http://gcc.1065356.n5.nabble.com/RFC-Apple-Blocks-extension-...

I'm not aware of any attempt that successfully reached the upstream. GCC could have simply imported Apple patches if there were no licensing issues.
