That's not what the GNU Coding Standards say:
An exception to this rule are the large, established programs (such as
Emacs) which run on a great variety of systems. Using GNU extensions
in such programs would make many users unhappy, so we don’t do that.
Another exception is for programs that are used as part of
compilation: anything that must be compiled with other compilers in
order to bootstrap the GNU compilation facilities. If these require
the GNU compiler, then no one can compile them without having them
installed already. That would be extremely troublesome in certain
cases.

In this specific case, the patch being discussed is a configure test to
disable an Emacs feature when a GCC extension is not present. That's
very easy.
