Hopefully someone involved with moving libobjc etc. out to toplevel in
EGCS a few years ago can explain the issues and the advantages of having
libraries at toplevel; I don't remember them.

A single "make bootstrap" (or, better, a single "make") should suffice to
build all of GCC - including Ada libraries and tools when they are
included.

Both Chill and Java were announced to egcs-announce when added to CVS,
even though not included in a GCC releases for many months after then.
