Yes, there are issues with the version of gcc,
but we can't do a lot about that, each time they
release a pre-alpha version, half of their regression
tests seem to be broken ;-(, then fixed again a
little bit later...

It's an internal programming language inside TeXmacs
which allows to write programs and run them directly
inside TeXmacs (i.e., without the need of a compiler,
thus e.g., you can type your commands and run them
immediately inside TeXmacs, without having to exit,
recompile, then run TeXmacs again).
