Toplevel and config need to be done manually.  AFAICS intl,
libdecnumber, and libiberty are robo-synced, at least that's what
happened to me today.

libtool ignores unknown options, out of necessity given the in-band
signaling, and only passes some known ones through to the compiler
driver in link mode (that's why toplevel GCC has libtool-ldflags).
I'm not sure why the path argument to -bindir was ignored.
