Toplevel bootstrap only - where are we?

- Subject: Toplevel bootstrap only - where are we?
Paolo's recent post on gcc-patches reminded me of all the toplevel
libgcc changes I have pending. To recap, the dependence is: if libgcc
is moved out of the top level, the "configure --disable-bootstrap; make
bootstrap" approach will no longer work. Building without a bootstrap
will be fine, of course - either for cross compilers, or in today's
sources with "configure --disable-bootstrap; make", or in hypothetical
future sources with "configure; make" if that goes back to being a
non-bootstrap target at some point.
So, how many people are still working with old-style GCC subdirectory
bootstrap? What blockers are there, besides retraining our fingers?
