So, why does m68k-motorola-sysv use math-68881.h?  Are there multiple
variants of that target which GCC doesn't distinguish, some of which
should use math-3300.h?

Could someone explain why there are two mechanisms for targets to install
extra headers, setting EXTRA_HEADERS in a t-* fragment or extra_headers in
config.gcc, with the former used to install headers from config/ and the
latter for ginclude/?  If this is just historical, would it be appropriate
to move the target headers from ginclude to config?  Would it be
appropriate to move the specifications of EXTRA_HEADERS into config.gcc?
