Here's something from the June 1993 GNU's Bulletin:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Informal ``GCC Consortium''
*************************

A group of companies including Intel, Motorola, Texas Instruments & Analog
Devices have pooled funds to support central maintenance of GNU CC.  The
maintenance will be coordinated by Richard Kenner of New York University.

The task of central maintenance is to take responsibility for fixing bugs,
integrating and cleaning up contributions, making releases and writing high
priority improvements.

Richard Stallman hopes this will enable him to undertake a new project.
