There are actually few C++ compilers and it takes an enormous investment to develop your own. Even if you did you would still be decades behind GCC in terms of optimization. Most companies, especially in the the embedded space, will either use a stock copy of GCC or slightly modify it for their needs and release their changes per the GPL.
