I've got no significant opinion here.

Yes.  LANGUAGES is all-but-dead and should be completely dead as part of
the make/configure cleanup.  The way we disable language specific
directories is via the --enable-languages="x,y,z" scheme.  If a language is
left out of that list it will not be configured in any way shape or form
(and thus none of its fragments will end up in gcc/Makefile). 

With that in mind I think we should proceed to kill the LANGUAGES tests
in f/Make* [and anywhere else they have managed to creep in]

To some extent, yes.
