You do the src/lib work, and I'll make GCC DTRT. Yes, I do realize I didn't include the patches... Unless I've totally misunderstood gcc's SPECS file, the gcc bit is (or should be) easy (gcc already does this sort of thing for -p and -pg). The src/lib work isn't... I'll have a look into it, but can't offer a quick result - probably post 5.0-RELEASE.
