FYI, things are broken on the branch. One example is that doing a
simple make for c+ada languages now does a bootstrap. Of course I won't
speak about all the assumptions that this change broke, such as location of
object and automatically generated files, as well as build procedures.
I know that building with srcdir=objdir is no longer officially supported,
but it works just fine for e.g c+ada builds, and since building Ada
involves a "cd gcc && make gnatlib_and_tools", having the creation of
an object dir happening magically breaks assumptions made up to now.
