gengtype installation in trunk?

- Subject: gengtype installation in trunk?
Hello All,
As you probably know, gengtype is useful for plugins, and they also need the gtype.state
file.
However, the current GCC trunk still don't seem to install it.
[several distributions, including Mandriva & Debian, are patching GCC for that purpose]
And GCC installation procedure and gcc/Makefile.in really give me a headache, and I don't
understand enough of it to be able to propose an acceptable patch.
Could any knowledgable person help in that. I'm sure that for people really understanding
GCC building procedure (which I am not), proposing a patch to install gengtype is even
simpler than explaining how it should be done.
I was told that for reasons I don't understand, gengtype would have to be compiled twice
(once in build and once in "host" mode, whatever that means exactly).
trunk is coming out of stage 1, and I am afraid that even gcc-4.7 won't have gengtype
installed.
Regards.
PS. I really cannot write a patch for that, I don't understand the makefile & configure
tricks enough.
