Yes. That's currently blocked on (a) finishing Eric Christopher's
work to get proper charset conversion happening, (b) Nathanael moving
the bootstrap logic to the top level. The latter is not strictly
necessary; it would mean that cpplib only got built with the host
compiler, but that's already the case for libiberty.

can't comment on that one,

I might do this around the time I do cpplib - anyone who wants to beat
me to it is welcome. It needs coordination with binutils and gdb, and
I think both gcc and src repositories are out of date wrt upstream
libintl.
