One solution is to use the .pot file from all the front-ends combined,
and just not re-generate it if only parts of GCC are available.

You mean, cross-hosting, when build & host differ. I can't see any
issues about cross-compiling, that is when host & target are
different, for GCC---it's just another program with an input, output,
and zillions of error messages :-).
I would imagine that it is no harder to make that work than for
anything else (like glibc or fileutils).

The latest one. That's easy.

From CVS?
