So the steering committee has agreed to include the MPX runtime in GCC.
The runtime bits are a necessary component to actually make use of the
MPX capabilities.
GCC is a downstream consumer of the core runtime and the canonical
repository for the wrapper subpart of that runtime.
The question is whether or not to try and get the MPX runtime integrated
for GCC 5 or wait until the next stage 1.
I'm hesitant to add at this stage, but if we could limit it to only
building on host/target combinations where we know it works, then
perhaps including it might make sense as it'll be easier for developers
who want to take advantage of MPX to get everything they need from the
GCC release rather than stitching things together from multiple locations.
Jakub, Joseph & Richi have the final say here for inclusion in GCC 5.
