Basically right.

The problem areas are config, include and all the toplevel files.

These are not likely to be the same between the binutils release and
the egcs releases.

Odds are you'd want the include tree from the binutils release,
libiberty from egcs, texinfo from either.  config from egcs and
the toplevel files from egcs.

For various reasons I do expect this to get simpler in the future.
