Sure GCC will probably never become a hard requirement for GDB.

I think there could be:
  set compile print never = current state
  set compile print always = never use internal GDB evaluation
  set compile print preferred = first try GCC then GDB evaluation
   - IMO to be the default (as long as GCC is available)
  set compile print deferred = first try GDB then GCC evaluation

But the setting above has never been implemented/posted/discussed.
