Is this intended for removal in 3.2 (that is, a deprecation message
"-traditional is deprecated and will be removed in GCC 3.2", with the
actual removal on the mainline any time after 3.1 branches), or some
indeterminate future version? If 3.2, shouldn't the deprecation message
go in 3.0.3 as well, to give people more warning?

A volunteer for this would not necessarily mean that the glibc maintainers
would have any interest in accepting a patch to support -traditional in
glibc.
